A representative of the Assistant Director - Legal & Democratic Governance submitted a report of the Director of Place Management (copies of which had been circulated) detailing the findings of a consultation exercise for the Integrated Transport Block (ITB) – Ramillies Estate scheme and seeks approval for the provision of on-carriageway 20mph roundels and introduction of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) with associated signage; and to undertake a further consultation with residents of the estate which offers Access Protection Markings at a reduced rate.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         It was commented that residents on the Ramillies estate had raised the issue of parking and lack of entry and exit points to the estate during a drop in session with ward Members.

·         Members noted that there was no clear consensus among residents as to how to address traffic issues in the area, and so supported the proposed measures as they offered a good way to tackle localised issues in a bespoke way.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to the proposals associated with the ITB – Ramilies Estate Scheme and to the legal advertising of the Traffic Regulation Orders contained in Appendix A to the report and, subject to no objections being received within 21 days of the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the orders to be funded from the ITB budget.
