Agenda item

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment which provided an overview of progress to date on the Cullum Street and Lime Street public realm enhancement project and asked Members to consider recommendations for the project in relation to a budget adjustment and a traffic order. Officers confirmed the Experimental Traffic Order had been instated at the request of the community and had been well received. Three objections had been received and addressed. A Member asked that future reports clearly state the consultation process undertaken.

In response to a query from a Member relating to the figure of 12 vehicles per hour still using the street, it was reported that this had not proven to be the case in the test period.

RESOLVED – That the Sub-Committee:

a)    recommends to make the experimental traffic order a permanent traffic order Monday to Friday 8am-6pm; and

b)    subject to approval by Project Sub Committee, approves the budget.
