Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration.

The report sets out a proposed scheme to provide an improved pedestrian / cycle route from the Heatons/ Reddish area to the town centre amenities and Trans Pennine Trail ‘TPT’ by the introduction of a TOUCAN crossing at Belmont Way, north of Belmont Street.  This link will provide a safe controlled crossing access to the quiet roads of Belmont Street (east side) and Wharf Street which will connect to a complimentary proposed shared-use pedestrian/ cycle route on Lancashire Hill to be implemented in the Financial Year 2015/16.

The Area Committee are requested to consider the Corporate Director’s report and recommend that the Executive Councillor (Supporting Places) approves the implementation of the proposed scheme and the associated Traffic Regulation Orders detailed in Schedules 1, 2 and 3 as located within the Heatons & Reddish Area.
