Report by Interim Director Community Operations (CMDE6).

The report presents responses received to a statutory consultation on updated proposals to introduce traffic calming features and also new facilities for pedestrians at Brize Norton as a result of residential development in the area  Following an earlier consultation carried out between 29 May 2019 & 28 June 2019 the proposals were modified to allay concerns expressed by members of the public and the Ministry of Defence – Defence Infrastructure Organisation.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed introduction of traffic calming measures on the Burford Road, Carterton Road, Station Road and Witney Road as advertised.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered (CMDE6) the responses received to a consultation to introduce traffic calming features and new facilities for pedestrians in Brize Norton resulting from residential development in the area.

Councillor Nick Field-Johnson spoke in support of the proposals.  Traffic in this area was now a major issue following the development of RAF Brize Norton and other residential development.  There was no major A road into this area and the situation was only likely to deteriorate with further development planned.

The Cabinet Member recognised the comments made by the local member and noted that funding had been provided by developers of adjacent land.  Although there had been objections the proposals seemed to be generally supported and so having regard to the information set out in the report before her along with the representations made to her at the meeting she confirmed her decision as follows:

to approve introduction of traffic calming measures on the Burford Road, Carterton Road, Station Road and Witney Road as advertised.
