·         Officers clarified that the feasibility study outlined within the report related to a crossing point and at the price proposed, did not include the extension of a footpath as referenced by residents in the earlier public questions.

·         It was requested when the feasibility study proposals were resubmitted that officers take into account the public questions and concerns raised earlier in the meeting.

·         It was noted that the report referenced the comments made by residents, however did not address the issue.
