Report of the Director of Built Environment

Members considered an issues report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding Bank Junction Improvements: Experimental Safety Scheme.

Officers reported that there had been an improvement in compliance, and it was expected that the numbers would continue to increase up to 95%. However the enforcement solution had proved more onerous than previously envisaged, and more staff hours were required to manage the process.

The Chairman reported that the scheme, although not perfect, was going well and the signage would remain under review. He had requested that further detail be provided on how vehicle volumes compared to previous periods, and also what the additional income would be used for.

It was agreed that the monitoring report should be circulated to all Members of the Sub-Committee.

RESOLVED, that subject to comments made by Members, the following recommendations be endorsed,

1)            Approve the revised estimated project cost of £1,355,403 for the Bank Junction experimental scheme.

2)            Approve the allocation of £208,306 from the On Street Parking Reserve account to the Bank junction experimental scheme
