A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) seeking to secure funding from the Discretionary Budget for a TfGM traffic survey on Mill Lane, Woodley.

·         This proposal had been made due to traffic congestion on Mill Lane and nearby roads during peak times for use of Stockport’s Sports Village.

·         The purpose of the traffic study was to analyse the time taken by users of the leisure centre and nearby residents to emerge from the estate and onto the main road.

·         Members welcomed the proposed use of the Discretionary Budget for this study to deliver for local people. 

RESOLVED – That the Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources be requested to approve the use of £4,000 from the Ward Discretionary Budget (Bredbury and Woodley ward) to fund a traffic survey on Mill Lane, Woodley.
