The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve implementation of the crossing as advertised and described in the report.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered a report (CMDE4) which considered responses received in the course of a statutory consultation on a proposal to provide a toucan crossing on the A361 Southam Road at Banbury following development of land on the west side of the A361 Southam Road to construct a new retail store which had resulted in increased demand for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the road in the vicinity of the store.

Presenting the report Mr Tole advised that in his view the objections raised had been covered in the report but confirmed that the issue of lorries turning into Marley Way would be kept under review.

The Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed that he had visited the site and was confident that the concerns raised during the consultation had been addressed and that the scheme would be of benefit to pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore having regard to the arguments and options set out in the report and the representations made to him he confirmed his decision as follows:

to approve implementation of the crossing as advertised and described in the report CMDE4.

Signed……………………………………….

Cabinet Member for Environment
