A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) setting out the findings of a consultation exercise along the A5143 Corridor funded by the CRSTS Integrated Transport Block.

The following comments were made/ issues raised: -

·         Members queried whether the proposed ‘keep clear’ signs outside Hazel Grove High School could be in use outside of school hours. In response it was stated that the timing of the ‘keep clear’ restrictions could be flexible, or timings could be removed altogether. 

·         It was confirmed that the proposed 20 mph zones within the scheme would be mandatory rather than advisory.

·         Members welcomed the proposed filter lane at Five Ways.

RESOLVED – That the Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways & Transport Services be recommended to give approval to the proposed measures set out in the report along with the amendment to the signal arrangements at the Dean Lane / Macclesfield Road junction and the legal advertising of the Traffic Regulation Orders contained in Appendix C to the report and, subject to no objections being received within 21 days from the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the orders, to be funded from the Government’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) Integrated Transport Block fund.
