Agenda 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.

Members were minded not to authorise closure of the project and requested that Officers carry out a 12 month review of the casualty situation and document this fully, with remedial action as necessary.  In addition, queries were raised regarding the replacement trees in Giltspur Street, the maintenance costs and replacement if any of the trees died within their first season and also the appropriate signage tin Stonecutter Street when approaching from the west.
