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) seeking approval for the construction of and costs for a pedestrian walkway over an existing grass verge on Broadway in Offerton.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·      That the disabled bay had become almost inaccessible as residents with disabled needs could not cross the grass verge, which the proposed walkway would bisect.

·      It was queried the material that would be used to construct the walkway. In response it was stated that the report outlined that the walkway would consist of rubble underneath a thin layer of tarmac.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to a proposal to construct a pedestrian walkway over an existing grass verge on Broadway, Offerton at a cost of £3,920 to be funded from the Area Committee's Delegated Budget (Offerton Ward allocation).
