Issue - meetings

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

The report details the findings of an investigation into the need for a pedestrian crossing facility on Hulme Hall Road, Cheadle Hulme in the vicinity of Smithy Green following a request made by ward councillors.

The Area Committee is recommended to note the assessment of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration that this proposal could not be recommended as a result of the pedestrian survey data and the low visibility splay as described in 2.5, 2.10 & 2.12 of this report.

Should the Area Committee be minded to pursue the proposal, it would be necessary to recommend that the Executive Councillor (Communities &

Housing) give approval to the statutory advertisement of the Traffic Regulation Orders detailed in paragraph 4.2 of the report and subject to the receipt of no objections within 21 days of the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the order at a cost of approximately £15,000 to be funded jointly from the 2016/17 Capital Programme and the Ward Delegated budget (Cheadle Hulme South ward allocation).
