That the relevant changes are made to the recommendations as shown below as strikethrough and in bold italics:
Recommendations:
2.1 That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee approves the Safer, Better Streets – Highway Improvement Prioritisation Framework and grants permission to commence the assessment of outstanding concerns, listed in Appendix 1.
2.2 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.
2.23
That the Environment Transport & Sustainability
Committee notes that future concerns will be assessed under this
framework and priority locations will be reported
quarterly annually 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.
2.4 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.
