A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a proposal to approve permanent measures relating to the Active Neighbourhood scheme in the Heatons.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         Members welcomed the introduction of the one way system on Ash Grove.

·         It was noted that no objections to the speed calming measures had been received from the public.

·         Concern was raised that there was not enough funding to deliver everything from the trial and the issue of problem drivers may still remain despite the new 20 MPH limits put in place.

RESOLVED – That the Cabinet Member for Highways, Parks and Leisure Services be recommended to give approval to the legal advertisement of the package of Traffic Regulation Orders and associated measures detailed in Appendix A of the report, and subject to the receipt of no objections within 21 days from the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the orders to be funded from the Active Neighbourhoods programme.
