Report by the Deputy Director for Environment & Economy (Commercial) (CMDE4).

The report considers objections to formal consultations on proposals to provide a new Zebra Crossing in London Road, Bicester.

The Cabinet Member for Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed zebra crossing outside Regal Court in London Road as advertised but without the raised side road entry treatment across Priory Road.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE4) proposals for a new zebra crossing in London Road, Bicester in the light of objections received to a public consultation on the proposal.

Noting the support of the local County Councillor he accepted that although there had been objections to the revised location the advice of officers remained that in their view that revised location outside Regal Court was preferable to the original location because of the wider footways, that it was equally on the desire line between the station and the Launton Road area and that is was not sited directly in front of properties or entrances.

Therefore, having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him and the further considerations set out above the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision as follows:

to approve the proposed zebra crossing outside Regal Court in London Road, Bicester as advertised but without the raised side road entry treatment across Priory Road.
