2) That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee requests a review of the criteria listed to consider other metrics over and above the assessments outlined in the pre-qualification criteria outlined in Appendix 2, to ensure issues such as midnight ‘joyriders’ or regular non-peak time speeding are not overlooked, and report back on this review for committee approval.
3) That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee notes that future concerns will be assessed under this framework and priority locations will be reported every six months at Committee to enable swift action if any new schemes highlight unintended accident spots, for example. Priority improvement measures will be recommended at Committee and implemented, subject to available funding, through the LTP’s capital programme or external funding streams.
4) That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee agrees that in clarification of paragraph 4.5 of this report, officers will still consider requests from members of the public following petitions and deputations to committee, if committee members vote to refer said requests from petitions/deputations to the framework.
