Issue - meetings

The District Executive was informed that a petition had been submitted by some of the residents of Shaw Road on 29^th August 2018 (i.e.: Ref. 2018-15) to request the removal of the gates near the garage site. The petitioners believed that the gates should be removed or be set further back from the main road as they obstructed the sight of cars transiting in and out of the garage area.

A meeting had been held with the relevant ward members and officers. It was decided to complete a feasibility study to determine whether it would be possible to set the gates further back. It was also decided that the gates could not be removed because they were a deterrent against antisocial behaviours and crime. Following the completion of the feasibility study, it had been confirmed that the gates could be moved further back. Once the costing for the work were received, a consultation would take place with all residents of Shaw Road. It would be likely that the cost of the work would be sustained by Crompton Councillors. An update would be provided at the next meeting of the District Executive.

RESOLVED that:

1.     The content of the report be noted;

2.    An update be provided at the next meeting.
