A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration submitted a joint report of the Council Solicitor (copies of which had been circulated) requesting the Area Committee to consider proposals for material choices along the Mersey Vale and Reddish Vale sections of the Trans Pennine Trail as marked A-J on the plan at appendix 1 to the report.

RESOLVED – That the Corporate Director be informed that the Area Committee rejects the use of chicanes and supports the retention of ‘A-Frames’  and horse stiles to prevent access to off road motorbikes and the use of a mixture of parallel strips of toptrek and tarmac (where possible) to suit the needs of pedestrians, equestrians and cyclists.
