                        ii.        Approved the implementation of the proposed signal layout as shown in Annex B subject to the outcome of a Road Safety Audit on the detailed design.

Reason:     To allow for the introduction of the traffic signalised

junction in order provide improvements to cycle links and to enhance road safety.

Officers provided an update on the scheme and provided an update on the consultation that had been held.
