Issue - decisions

RESOLVED: (i)         That the progress thus far with the Footstreets review be noted.

                        (ii)        That Option 1 – to progress all four suggested schemes concurrently to a point where a city-wide consultation can be undertaken – be supported and that Officers be requested to bring a further report to Members once detailed options have been developed.

REASON:      In order to achieve the improvements identified in the report, subject to appropriate consultation with residents and other stakeholders.

                        (iii)       That Option 4 – to continue investigation of some of the schemes with a longer lead in time – be supported, and that Officers be requested to push ahead as quickly as is practicable in their consultation on the possible pedestrianisation of part of Fossgate.

REASON:      In order to assess the wider implications of these schemes and to provide a quicker and more positive response to the request from Fossgate traders.
