To consider a report of the Corporate Director (Place) and Deputy Chief Executive

The report outlines measures related to road safety around Stockport School and the associated allocated costs. Mile End Lane which is adjacent to the school straddles the boundary between Stepping Hill and Central Stockport Area Committees and so the report has been submitted to both Area Committees.

The Area Committee is recommended to approve the legal advertising of the Traffic Regulation Orders detailed in the report and, subject to no objections being received within 21 days from the advertisement date, the Orders can be made.
