The Cabinet Member considered a report which provided feedback on a recent consultation on restoring traffic calming measures to Huntington Road near to a new housing development on the former Sessions site.

Councillor Orrell had registered to speak as Ward Member and raised concerns about the consultation not being conducted widely enough, in particular he felt that the residents who lived in houses further along Huntington Road should also have been consulted, not just the residents immediately in front of the chicanes.

In response to Councillor Orrell’s comments, Officers advised that the scheme had been subject to a number of delays and there had been little time to do a large scale consultation.

The Cabinet Member noted Councillor Orrell’s concerns but as there had been no significant response from the localised consultation, he was minded to approve the Officers recommendation.
