A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) outlining the results of a Traffic Services investigation into the road traffic incidents on Ladybridge Road, near to its junction with Meadway Road, Cheadle Hulme.

The report outlined two alternative solutions to be considered, namely:-

·         Option 1 - remove the remaining central traffic island

·         Option 2 - retain the central traffic island and take additional measures.

Members did not favour removing the remaining central traffic island (Option 1) as it would be less effective in reducing the speed of traffic.

RESOLVED – (1) That the Cabinet Member for Sustainable Stockport be recommended to retain the central traffic island and take additional measures (Option 2) with additional road markings and the repair/replacement of the VAS signs for implementation in the 2019/20 financial year.

(2) That the Traffic Regulation Orders on Ladybridge Road in the vicinity of the island be reviewed and the outcome submitted to a future meeting of the Area Committee.
