Business

ItemBusiness
3The Working Party received a report of the Corporate Director Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment concerning a proposal to install two staggered, zebra pedestrian crossings in Prittlewell Chase, east of the access gates to Southend High School for Boys, to install advisory cycle lanes in Prittlewell Chase, between Hobleythick Lane and the Prittle Brook Greenway and which sought Members' approval to recommend to the Cabinet Committee that the scheme be supported for implementation and the necessary Traffic Regulation Orders and Notices be advertised. Large scale plans illustrating the proposals were displayed at the meeting.

Whilst the Working Party was generally supportive of the scheme, concern was expressed at the loss of space available for parking and parents dropping off their children off. The Working Party was informed however, that the school had been consulted and were fully supportive of the proposals. The school was working hard to educate students and their parents to reduce the numbers of children travelling to the school by car and promoting the use of cycles.
