Part I
866 A127 Route Management Strategy
Scrutiny Comment for item 866
Business for item 866
Resolved:-

1. That the draft A127 Corridor for Growth Economic Plan be approved as a working document for further development.

2. That it be noted that the plan will be submitted to SELEP in support of the Single Local Growth funding bid and that further work is being undertaken, as identified in the submitted report.

3. That officers be requested to investigate possible improvements to the north/south traffic flows and Progress Road/Fairway Road junction and report back to a future meeting of the Traffic and Parking Working Party.

Reason for Decision

The A127 Corridor for Growth is an essential document to support the development of a coherent strategy for improving and managing the A127. In order to demonstrate strong cross-boundary working and the value and importance of the A127, Essex County Council and Southend Borough Council have agreed to work together to set out a forward plan over the next six years (SEP timescale 2015 to 2021) to make the case for improvement and maintenance funding to deliver the jobs and homes as part of the Thames Gateway South Essex (TGSE).

Other Options

The options developed as part of the Plan are scaleable and will be developed as short, medium and long term. The progress of the improvements will depend on the actual Single Local Growth Fund allocations made to LEPs in July.
