A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) highlighting concerns in relation to road safety on Hollins Lane, Marple Bridge for pedestrians travelling to and from Mill Brow Playground which was compounded by the lack of a footway at this location.

As part of the site assessment, it was also noted that Hollins Lane was regularly used by horse riders which potentially posed a further hazard for vehicle users who were not familiar with this stretch of highway.

RESOLVED - That approval be given to the provision and installation of warning signage at two locations on Hollins Lane, Marple Bridge to highlight to motorists the nearby Mill Brow playground and the use of the highway by horse riders at a cost of £669.77 to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Marple North ward allocation).
