Report of the Interim Director of Consumer Protection & Market Operations.

The Committee considered a report of the Interim Director of Consumer Protection and Market Operationswhich recommended postponing for up to six months the introduction of a scheme, due to take place in April 2019, to introduce an ultra-low emission vehicle access only restriction at the southern section of Moor Lane.

During discussion amongst Members it was confirmed that whilst the recommendation sought to postpone the scheme, the power to make the traffic order would rest with the Streets and Walkways Sub-Committee and the preferred option was for the ULEV pilot to operate 7am-11pm on weekdays with the current barrier closure maintained overnight and at weekends.

RESOLVED - Thatthe Committee;

·         Postpone the introduction of the scheme for up to 6 months to avoid confusion with the Mayor of London Ultra-Low Emission Zone and provide additional time for drivers to upgrade vehicles; and

·         approve to purchase and install equipment before April 2019.
