Agenda item

To consider a report of the Director of Place Management.

This report provides the results of a consultation process on the CRSTS A6 Corridor: Improving Journeys, including proposals for improving bus journeys and active travel for the A6 corridor, from the border with Manchester to Stockport Town Centre. The scheme aims to increase the number of people travelling by bus, improve bus journey time, the reliability of frequent services, and increase the number of people travelling using active travel. It includes measures to improve road safety, reduce bus journey times, improve crossings for pedestrians and cyclists, and cycle routes parallel and across the A6 to make walking, wheeling and cycling easier.

The Area Committee is asked to consider the contents of the report, noting the results of the recent consultation exercise carried out with residents and businesses in the surrounding area of the proposals, and recommends that the Cabinet Member (Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways & Transport Services) approves the proposed measures.
