A representation of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing the outcome of a consultation exercise carried out with key stakeholders within Bramhall District Centre in relation to proposed public realm improvements, improved parking information signing and rationalised waiting and loading restrictions.

The following comments were made:-

·         The proposal to rationalise street signage as a means of mitigating against street clutter was welcomed.

·         It was commented that Bramall Hall had been spelled incorrectly on one of the proposed drawings which needed to be rectified.  In response, it was commented that this had already been identified and resolved.

·         It was noted that the Council had engaged consultants to draw up the proposals due to a lack of capacity within the Council, and the costs associated with this particular scheme were requested.

·         Proposals relating to parking restrictions on Bramhall Lane South, Moss Lane and Woodford Road and other minor requests for parking restrictions on surrounding residential streets would be progressed and submitted for separate approval at December’s meeting of the Area Committee.

RESOLVED – That the Cabinet Member for Communities & Housing be recommended to give approval to the package of Complementary and Mitigation Measures for Bramhall District Centre as detailed in the report.
