Report by Head of Transport (TDC13)

 

Minutes:

The Committee reviewed a decision taken by the then Cabinet Member for Transport to approve the closure of Bulwarks Lane by means of a gating order in the light of a recent decision by Nuffield College to withdraw support for  closure.

 

Councillor Armitage referred to the earlier commitment to achieve closure and was unconvinced regarding the worthiness of the straw poll referred to in the report. However, he acknowledged that it appeared that the incidence of crime had reduced and in view of the withdrawal of support by Nuffield College he supported the recommendation not to proceed with closure.

 

RESOLVED: not to proceed with the advertisement or introduction of a gating order on Bulwarks Lane, Oxford.
