A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) requesting the Area Committee to consider proposed traffic calming measures on Hibbert Lane.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         Councillors supported the proposed locations of the speed cushions.

·         The proposed location of the bus stops was supported subject to a dropped kerb being installed outside No.60 Hibbert Lane.

·         The location of the Toucan crossing be reconsidered as it was felt that whilst a crossing point was required, the proposed current position would cause congestion and hinder the flow of traffic.

·         Councillor supported the proposed cycle-ways subject to the planning of additional trees to lessen the impact of the removal of the grass verges.

RESOLVED – That subject to consideration being given to the comments above, the Cabinet Member for Communities & Housing be informed that the Area Committee supports the proposed mitigation measures.
