Issue - meetings

The report before the Committee detailed responses to a consultation for the introduction of a No Motor Vehicle restriction at the location of three existing fire gates in Romford.

The proposal was to support the promotion of sustainable travel as it was stated that St Edwards School, Mawney Foundation School and Crowlands Primary School were successful at actively encouraging their pupils to cycle to school.

Following Staff recommendation to proceed with the introduction of restrictions and the removal of three fire gates in order to make the cycle route fully accessible the Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Environment Regulatory Services and Community Safety to the introduction of a No Motor Vehicle restriction at the following locations:

·         Como Street j/w North Street -  QQ023/01.A

·         Marks Road -  QQ023/02.A

·         Pretoria Road/Marks Road - QQ023/03.A

Members noted that the estimated cost of £0.021M for implementation of the scheme would be met by the Transport for London Local Implementation Plan Allocation for STP Engineering Measures - St Edwards, Mawney and Crowlands Schools (A2633)
