Issue - meetings

The report before the Committee detailed responses to a consultation for the relocation of the existing modal filter in Cedar Road.

The report informed that by the close of consultation, five responses were received. Three were from residents and two were from businesses. Four of the responses were in support of the alternative location. One business while in support, felt that parking management was required to assist turning drivers and that some carriageway widening should take place at the entrance to Chesham Close.

Officers were of the view that the alternative location of the filter was the only option given the constraints. It was also noted that a parking management review would be considered once the filter was in place.

The Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Environment Regulatory Services and Community Safety to the modal filter be relocated to a position at the common boundary of Nos.21 and 23 Cedar Road as shown on Drawing QQ042/101 of the report.

Members noted that the estimated cost of £0.0035m for implementation would be met by the Council’s Capital Allocation for Minor Highway Improvements (A2225).
