A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing the results of a consultation exercise carried out with the residents of Padden Brook. Padden Brook Mews and Green Lane (part) and outlining proposals for the revocations of Traffic Regulations and the introduction of new Traffic Regulation Orders.

It was noted that the Area Committee had previously considered related proposals as part of a wider package of measures at its meeting on 7 August 2017 where it was agreed, following concerns from members and members of the public, to defer consideration of that element of the proposals relating to the design of the scheme between Green Lane and Padden Brook.
