Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered a report (CMDE11) presenting responses received to a statutory consultation on a proposal to designate a 20-metre length of existing footway as a shared use footpath/cycle track to facilitate access to and from an approved new off-road cycle route between the Milton road and Milton Park.

Officers confirmed funding would be provided via the local growth fund as part of the Science Vale network Project.

Noting that although there had been one objection local support for this scheme had been high in comparison the Cabinet Member for Environment therefore, having regard to the information set out in the report and the representations made to her at the meeting confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve the proposed widening of a footway to provide a shared use footpath/cycle track on Milton Road at the access point to an off-road cycled track between the Milton road and Milton Park.
