Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Environment which asked Members to consider a number of objections received to the proposed School Streets (Permanent Traffic Order) at Delamere Avenue, Shaw.

The Committee was advised that following positive feedback from the school and residents during a trial period, a report recommending the introduction of a Permanent Traffic Order to restrict vehicle access to Buckstones Primary School (during drop off and pick up times), was approved under delegated powers on 28^th August 2024. The proposal was subsequently advertised and five objections, two letters of support, two letters of concern and one letter requesting further clarification were received.

A copy of the approved report was attached at Appendix A and copies of the representations are attached at Appendix B.

The Director of Environment reported that following objections received, the following options were to be considered by Members:

Option 1: To introduce the proposed restriction as advertised.

Option 2: To relax the proposal.

Option 3: Do not introduce the proposed restriction.

The preferred Option was Option 1.

Resolved:

That the Deputy Chief Executive be recommended to approve and implement Option 1, subject to the restrictions not being enforced outside of school term times.

NOTE: An objector attended the meeting and spoke on the item.
