Issue - meetings

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

The Area Committee has previously given approval to a scheme to provide mitigation measures along Moss Lane and Acre Lane on 13 December 2018.  Since the approval of this report a number of communications have been received from members of the public that live adjacent to Measure No. 1, where it is proposed to install a pedestrian refuge island.  At a site meeting between Traffic Services officers, Ward Members and the residents that live adjacent to the proposed pedestrian refuge it was agreed that the island would be removed from the proposals as it may cause issues for the residents entering/ exiting their driveways.

In addition it was agreed that, subject to approvals, the remaining budget could be used to provide build outs at the Moss Lane/Ashley Drive junction to reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians when travelling northwest/southeast along Moss Lane. 

The Area Committee is requested to recommend that the Cabinet Member for Sustainable Stockport approves the implementation of the measures and the legal advertising of the associated traffic regulation orders contained in Appendix B and, subject to the receipt of no objections within 21 days of the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the orders.
