Agenda item

The Committee received a report previously considered by the Streets and Walkways Sub-Committee on 5 September 2017 concerning the alternative junction layout and delivery of mitigation measures at Tudor Street/New Bridge Street.

The report sought agreement for officers to work with TfL to confirm whether the new alternative layout was viable through detailed design and modelling, and drew Members’ attention to the fact that if it is found to be so, then the cost would be in excess of £2.3M for which funding had not currently been identified.

The Committee noted that the recommendations had been approved by the Streets and Walkways Sub-Committee and would be considered at the Court of Common Council on the 12 October 2017.

RESOLVED -To

1)            Agree that officers continue to work with TfL and representatives of the

Temples to establish the viability of the new layout through detailed design, and traffic modelling, and

2)            Endorse officers to investigate possible funding options for the scheme.

At the end of this item, and in respect of Standing Order No. 40, the Chairman sought the Committee’s consent to extend the meeting to allow for the remaining business to be considered. This was put to the meeting and AGREED.
