Decision details

A decision is sought on making permanent the provisions of a current Experimental Traffic Regulation Order.

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management AGREED to approve the making of the order to prohibit all vehicles at the East end of St Michael’s Street.

Whilst assisting local businesses as a result of enabling tables and chairs to be placed on the carriageway, the proposals raise issues for cyclists who are required to dismount when using this east end of St Michael’s Street.  However, the section where cyclists have to dismount is relatively short and an alternative route East-West through the city centre is available where dismounting is not necessary – New Inn Hall Street, George Street, Broad Street, albeit on roads used by a greater number of vehicles.

As per report.
