The report before the Committee detailed responses to a consultation relating to improving road safety in North Road, Havering-atte-Bower between Broxhill Road and the northern borough boundary. The proposals were for the provisions of two zebra crossings for pedestrians and some road safety measures.

 

In accordance with the public speaking arrangements the Committee was addressed by a speaker who spoke against the location of the crossing opposite No. 2 Festival Cottages.

 

With the permission of the Committee, Councillor Christine Vickery addressed Members commending officers for proposed calming measures and giving support for the scheme but was also aware that residents were divided on the proposed location of the crossings.

 

During a debate, Members discussed the re location of the crossing north bound. The Committee noted officers’ comment that the proposed location for the crossing afforded better sight lines for drivers to identify hazards.

 

Following a debate the Committee RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Environment, following consultation with the Leader of the Council implementation of the following proposals:

 

i)          Provision of Rumble Strips to warn motorists of potential hazard ahead and attempt to slow the traffic to be installed in North Road, between Wellingtonia Avenue and Broxhill Road as shown on drawing No. QS013_NR(RW)_FS_100_GA in Appendix 2 of this report;

 

ii)            A new zebra crossing in North Road by Wellingtonia Avenue, in place of the existing width restriction at this location, which would be removed permanently asshown on drawing No. QS013_NR(Z1)_FS_100_GA in Appendix 2 of this report;

 

iii)       A new zebra crossing in North Road by Dame Tipping Primary School as shown on drawing No. QS013_NR(Z2)_FS_100_GA in Appendix 2 of this report.

 

Members noted that the estimated cost of £0.050m for the implementation would be met by Transport for London through the Local Implementation Plan bid allocated to the borough for 2019/20  (A2921).

 

The voting to proceed with the scheme was 5 to 3 against.
