The Cabinet Member considered a report which updated him on work undertaken in relation to the provision of a crossing point on Osbaldwick Lane as part of the planning conditions imposed on the Derwenthorpe housing development.

Details of feedback following consultation on a zebra crossing scheme and possible alternative proposals were presented by officers for consideration.

The Cabinet Member considered the following options in respect of his decision:

a) Approve the original proposals for a zebra crossing to the west of the Hambleton Avenue junction, with approval to advertise a Traffic Regulation Order to introduce parking restrictions to complement the new crossing. 

b) Grant in principle approval and authorise consultation on the alternative scheme with feedback to be reported back to a future meeting.

The Cabinet Member expressed support for the revised scheme following the results of resident and member consultation. He did however request officers to undertake further discussions with Councillor Warters in respect of the issues he had raised at the meeting. ^1.
