Agenda item

To consider the report of the Executive Director Environment.

A Member asked how the 11.30am start time for the restrictions had been decided, and the meeting heard that the 11.30am start time took into account the area’s busy periods.

RESOLVED, That Members

1. Agree to commence the promotion of an ETO for the proposed introduction of a timed closure to restrict vehicles using Widegate Street for part of the day to improve the amenity and use of this street for the benefit of the public;

2. Authorise the Executive Director Environment to consider responses to consultation and statutory notices and the results of pre-implementation traffic surveys and, if there are no objections and they consider it appropriate, to make the ETO;

3. Authorise the Executive Director Environment to consider the outcome of the experiment including any objections and - subject to being satisfied no public inquiry should be held and no significant issues arise - to make the ETO permanent.
