Members received a report which advised them of the results of recent public consultation on proposals to improve the A19 Fulford Road Corridor. It made recommendations on how to progress the proposed improvement measures, which took account of the consultation findings, and sought approval of those recommendations.

Copies of the consultation leaflet, questionnaires and exhibition plans were available for Members to view at the meeting.

The report presented three options for consideration:

·  Option 1- To progress and deliver the schemes that form part of the corridor improvement strategy as proposed in Annex B and paragraph 30 of the report;

·  Option 2 – To progress and deliver the schemes that form part of the corridor improvement strategy as proposed in Annex B and paragraph 30 of the report, but with changes approved by the Executive Member;

·  Option 3 – To do nothing.
