Report by Director of Environment and Highways (CMDTM).

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

(a)           Approve the introduction of a new Toucan crossing to be located on Twelve Acre Drive east of the eastern junction of Russel Avenue, as advertised:

(b)           Approve the introduction of two new Bus stop clearways (with associated ‘No Stopping except local buses’ restrictions) on both sides of Twelve Acre Drive either side of the junctions with Russel Avenue, as advertised.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting, invited speakers to make their contributions and responded to their points in turn.

The Chair noted that this was a Section 106 obligation as part of planning conditions and had support from the local County Councillor.

The Chair asked about bus operations on Twelve Acre Drive and officers stated they’d find out whether contributions were being given to support bus services along this route.

The Chair stated that the decision before him was about the infrastructure for buses, rather than the routes themselves.

The Chair thanked officers for their work, speakers for their contributions and agreed to the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED to:

a)    Approve the introduction of a new Toucan crossing to be located on Twelve Acre Drive east of the eastern junction of Russel Avenue, as advertised:

b)    Approve the introduction of two new Bus stop clearways (with associated ‘No Stopping except local buses’ restrictions) on both sides of Twelve Acre Drive either side of the junctions with Russel Avenue, as advertised.
