A representative of the Director for Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on the outcome of the legal notifications and the comments received regarding the removal of specific traffic calming measures along Windlehurst Road.

The following comments were made/issues were raised:-

·         Members presented queries regarding the length of time that this had taken,and the consultation into replacements.

·         The residents had responded to both consultations together, and therefore time had to be taken to disentangle the results.

·         The removal of the humps could go ahead and would start to be planned into the work program, and that colleagues would be asked about the specific timeline.

·         The decision of what might replace these was a separate choice.

·         It was stated that the outcome of the consultation could be discussed with Members in advance of the next meeting.

·         The previous stance on the feasibility of the speed cameras was queried.

·         It was responded that this was a complicated picture as this was a GM stance, and the legislation and criteria were discussed.

RESOLVED – (1) That the report be noted.

(2) That the results of the consultation on the alternative and the time scales would be brought to the next Area Committee.
