The Area Committee considered a proposal to introduce two speed tables and associated Traffic Regulation Order at Bean Leach Road in order to improve safety for pedestrians and users of the recently refurbished playground on Bean Leach Road.
The Area Committee then
(1) approved in principal the implementation of the two speed tables and the following associated Traffic Regulation Order, subject to public consultation:
Proposed Speed Tables – 75 mm high
Bean Leach Road
From a point 136 metres north of the northerly kerb line of Overton Crescent in a northerly direction for a distance of 4.5 metres.
From a point 77 metres north of the northerly kerb line of Overton Crescent in a northerly direction for a distance of 4.5 metres.
(2) approved in principal the use of the £12,000 required to fund the scheme being met from Playbuilder funding, subject to confirmation that the funding is ring-fenced for this scheme and cannot be used for any other purpose, and confirmation of the total cost of the scheme.
(3) agreed that, should the Playbuilder funding identified for this scheme not be ring-fenced, the Executive Councillor (Economic Development & Regeneration) be recommended to consider funding the project from highway capital resources in view of the clear need for speed mitigation measures.
