A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) advising committee members of a number of objections received to the proposed introduction of the Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs), associated with the Bramhall Park to A6 walking and cycling scheme.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·      Members expressed concern that a review of the scheme was not due until a year following the implementation of the scheme, and felt uncomfortable in approving any further TROs in the meantime, given the scale of residents’ concerns towards the scheme.

·      Members queries whether the placement of double yellow lines outlined in the report would unduly affect residents.

·      In response, it was stated that Members could recommend an amendment of the double yellow line placements to the Cabinet Member. However, it was suggested that a new report should first be submitted for consideration by the Committee, should an amendment be required.

RESOLVED – That consideration of the item be deferred until a later meeting of the Area Committee, pending the submission of a further report that clarified the location of the proposed double-yellow lines.
