The report before the Committee sought recommendations to convert the School Streets (SS) Phase 1 scheme from experimental to permanent.

In accordance with the public speaking arrangements the Committee was addressed by a local resident.

The Committee considered the report and following a debate RESOLVED to recommend to the Cabinet Member for Public Realm in consultation with the Leader of the Council that:

·            the experimental school street schemes for Branfil Primary School, Hylands Primary School and Squirrels Heath Infant & Junior Schools proceed to formal advertisement and making of the permanent traffic order; as shown on the drawings in the report and detailed in the following table:

·            Approve the officer’s recommendations to overrule the small number of objections received during the experimental order statutory consultation period and agree that officers write to the objectors where possible and explain why their objections have been overruled.

The voting to recommend the scheme was passed by 6 votes to 2 abstentions. Councillor Durant and Middleton abstained.
