Decision:
(1) That the Cabinet Member for Environment (having taken account of all duly made representations and objections), approves the making of the The Brighton & Hove (St Leonard’s Road and Melbourne Street) (One Way Traffic and Prohibition of Turning) Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) 200* with no amendments.
Minutes:
67.1 The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Director of Environment concerning approval of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) advertised as part of the Elm Grove Safer Routes to School Scheme (for copy see minute book).
67.2 The Cabinet Member stated that the scheme would help children in the Hanover and Elm Grove area travel to school in a safer way by providing a range of road safety measures that would promote safer and more sustainable journeys to and from school. The Cabinet Member explained that the report detailed objections, letters of support and responses to the recently advertised Traffic Regulation Order, which proposed a one-way westbound on St. Leonard’s Road, and a right turn only from Melbourne Street, both of which were thought necessary in order to see the scheme through to completion.
67.3 Councillor Mitchell was pleased that officers had listened to the representations made and come to a satisfactory solution. She also wished to emphasise the importance of consulting with cycling groups
67.4 The Assistant Director for Sustainable Transport confirmed that the council was committed to standardising its involvement in the Cycle Forum.
67.5 RESOLVED – That having considered the information and the reasons set out in the report, the Cabinet Member accepted the following recommendation:
(1) That (having taken account of all duly made representations and objections), the making of the Brighton & Hove (St Leonard’s Road and Melbourne Street) (One Way Traffic and Prohibition of Turning) Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) 200* be approved with no amendments.
