The report before the Committee detailed responses to a consultation for the provision of 2 metre width restrictions in Faircross Avenue and Lawns Way and a ‘point’ weight limit in Gobions Avenue which was implemented on an experimental basis and sought a recommendation to make the restrictions  permanent.

In accordance with the public speaking arrangements the Committee was addressed by two speakers; one spoke against the scheme and one in favour.

Following the debate, the Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Environment that the two metre width restrictions in Faircross Avenue and Lawns Way along with the ‘point’ 7.5tonne weight limit in Gobions Avenue detailed on the following drawings QQ032/FA/FS/100/GA/REV0, QQ032/LW/FS/100/GA/REV0 and QQ032/GOB/FS/100/GA/REV0 be made permanent and the existing temporary concrete block system be replaced with a permanent layout utilising kerbed islands and appropriate bollards;
