A representative of the Strategic Head of Service (Legal & Democratic Governance and Monitoring Officer) submitted a report of the Director of Place Management (copies of which had been circulated) requesting the Area Committee give consideration to the extension of the 20mph Zone covering Kennerley Road in Davenport.

The following comments were made/issues raised: -

·      Welcomed the extension of the 20mph Zone, however expressed concerns in relation to how effective the measure would be.

·      Raised concerns in relation to the criteria used by the GM Casualty Reduction Partnership to determine incident severity and allocation of resources. It was expressed that the requirement of a cluster of Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) incidents within a three-year period threshold was too high and limited the action that could be taken.

·      In response, it was commented that the criteria was a Transport for Greater Manchester policy and that Members were encouraged to feedback their comments via their party representatives on the working group.

·      Commented on the importance of appropriate resourcing in order to provide workable solutions.

RESOLVED – That the Committee request that the Cabinet Member for Sustainable Stockport gives approval to the legal advertising of the following Traffic Regulation Order and, subject to no objections being received within 21 days from the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the following orders at a total cost of £3000 (£1500 to be funded from this Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Stepping Hill Ward Allocation) with the remainder of the balance to be funded from the Davenport & Cale Green ward allocation):-
