The Cabinet Committee received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) which appraised Members of the receipt of a petition signed by 95 residents of Station Road requesting the provision of a pedestrian crossing facility in the road.  Having considered the views of the Traffic & Parking Working Party it was:-

Resolved:

1. That the petition be noted and the residents be thanked for taking the time to compile the petition.

2.  That the location be assessed and, in the event the request meets the agreed criteria, the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) be authorised to publish the relevant statutory notices/traffic regulation order to provide a pedestrian crossing facility and, subject to there being no objections received, to confirm the order. In the event the request does not meet the agreed criteria, no further action be taken.

3.  That any unresolved objections to an advertised proposal be referred back to the Traffic & Parking Working Party and Cabinet Committee for consideration.

Reason for Decision

To reflect the request from residents and in accordance with the agreed protocol.

Other Options

The recommendation is in accordance with the protocol agreed by Members of the Traffic & Parking Working Party in January 2016
