Minutes:

The Executive Member received a report which provided him with  an update on the advertisement of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) required for implementation of the proposed cycle lane at Holgate Road. The report also summarised the results of further discussions with the owners of numbers 150-154 Holgate Road and made a recommendation on the way forward.

In relation to comments made by the public speaker, Officers welcomed Councillor D’Agorne’s comments on safety and responded that they would consult with colleagues in regards to the proposal for allowing 30 minutes parking on the residential side of the street. The Executive Member felt that this was an Officer decision, and delegated the decision for permitting the variation to the Director of City and Environmental Services.
