Issue - meetings

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

In October 2015, Traffic Services purchased 4 mobile speed signs (Speed Indication Devices or SIDs) to be used across the Borough to assess traffic speeds and remind drivers who are exceeding the speed limit, to “slow down”.   Additional signs have been purchased using Manor and Werneth ward budgets for exclusive use in each of these wards.

The Service has subsequently received a request from the Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme Ward Spokespersons to prepare a report on the purchasing and managing a SID to be used exclusively in this area committee’s area.

The Area Committee is asked to consider the Corporate Director’s report and decide what action they wish to take with regards to the purchase / erection / management of a SID sign for the exclusive use within Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme South Area Committee area.

A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a proposal for the acquisition of a Mobile Speed Indication Device.

RESOLVED – That consideration of this item be deferred to a future meeting of the Area Committee pending clarification of whether the acquisition would be by a single ward or on Area Committee-wide basis.
