Agenda item

A Member noted his concern for the use of tactile paving at pedestrian crossings and its possible impact on elderly and disabled users. Members were advised that the guidance set by the Department for Transport on tactile paving had to be applied but different ideas and designs could be implemented by City Corporation Officers. For instance, red blister tactile paving was not used within the City of London.

In response to a Member’s question regarding project priority, Members were advised that details of priority projects were submitted to the Planning and Transportation Committee and Projects Sub Committee on a six monthly basis. Consultation exercises were carried out to determine future project prioritisation based on aspects such as political importance and additional funding received.
