This report presents options to address concerns about the speed of vehicles on Hempland Avenue.

Resolved:  That the Executive Member approve Option 3, junction realignment only, to progress the scheme to consultation with local residents, ward members and other local interest groups and for any objections to be reported back to a future Executive Member for Transport and Planning Decision Session for a decision on implementation.
