Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy - Commercial & Delivery (CMDE7).

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered a report that set out objections to a formal consultation on proposals to install a zebra crossing on the Reading Road, Wallingford approximately 12 metres north of its junction with St.Lucian’s Lane.  The report recommends that approval be granted to proceed with detailed design and implementation.

It was noted that there were lots of letters in support of this proposal, and one objection.  It was noted that to move the crossing as had been suggested would impact on the bus stops along the road, and this was not desirable.  Councillor Sanders confirmed he had no objections to the proposal.

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, the representations made to him and the further considerations set out above, the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision on this matter as follows:

(a)       approve the zebra crossing as shown in Annex 1 to this report for design and delivery in 2013 / 14, and

(b)       delegate authority to the Deputy Director of Environment & Economy (Commercial) in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Environment to deal with any specific matters relating to detailed design.
