Agenda item

The Deputy Chairman, Archie Galloway took the Chair for this item.

Consideration was given to a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding road danger reduction in the Shoe Lane area (Stonecutter Street and Little New Street).

Following authorisation by the Streets and Walkways and Projects Sub Committees to implement Option 1, a statutory consultation was undertaken and from this one letter of objection was received.  Officers had reviewed the objection and considered that the project benefits outweighed the issue of increasing journey time which was raised by the LTDA.

RESOLVED – That,

i)                 the making of Traffic Orders under Section 6 of the Road Traffic and Regulation Act 1984, to allow the permanent closure of Stonecutter Street at its eastern end to motorised vehicles be agreed; and

ii)                the objectors be informed of the decision.
