A259: Walking, Cycling and Accessibility improvements

Report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture

Decision:

1)             That Committee agrees Officers have suitably addressed the objections received as part of the consultation.

 

2)             That Committee authorises officers to commence the construction phase and to procure the Works Contract under the authority of the Executive Director.

Minutes:

29.1      The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture that outlines the results of the Traffic Regulation Order consultation required for alterations to the Public Highway in order to implement the Active Travel Funded A259 Walking, Cycling and Accessibility Improvement Scheme that was previously approved at ETS committee on the 15th March 2022. The report also presents the responses we received from the consultation.

 

29.2      In response to questions from Councillor Platts, it was explained that there would be dedicated safe routes along the route to mitigate conflicts, the absence of a servicing access point at the King Alfred car park was an oversight and would be remedied. More time on blue badge parking bays would be investigated but it was important to ensure adequate turnover in these bays.

 

29.3      Councillor Nemeth and Councillor Bagaeen requested their vote against the recommendation be noted in the record.

 

29.4      Resolved-

 

1)           That Committee agrees Officers have suitably addressed the objections received as part of the consultation.

 

2)           That Committee authorises officers to commence the construction phase and to procure the Works Contract under the authority of the Executive Director.
