A representative of the Assistant Director for Legal and Democratic Governance submitted a report of the Director of Place Management (copies of which had been circulated) detailing the findings of a consultation exercise for the proposed Compstall Road, Marple Bridge, Zebra Crossing funded by the Government’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS).

The following comments were made/issues raised: -

·       It was commented that concerns had been raised regarding loss of parking spaces, however, road safety must be taken into account.

·       Members expressed a desire to work with local residents to minimise the impact of loss of parking amenity.

·       It was noted that the proposal could include four short stay parking bays during the day-time and one bay designated as a disabled parking bay on Compstall Road or to extend the existing disabled parking bay on Cote Green Lane.

·       It was suggested that the crossing would be of even greater value in winter when darker evenings would result in poorer visibility.

RESOLVED (5 For, 1 Against) – (1) That the Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways and Transport Services be recommended to approve the following Zebra Crossing scheme and progress legal advertising of the associated TROs.

(2) That the Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways and Transport Services be recommended to consider the proposal for four short stay parking bays during the day-time and one bay designated as a disabled parking bay on Compstall Road and/or to extend the existing disabled parking bay on Cote Green Lane.
