That the Executive Member for City Strategy be advised to :
(i) Note any outstanding objections;

(iii) Authorise the Director of City Strategy to instruct the Head of Civic, Democratic an Legal Services to make a Gating Order for each snicket in accordance with S129A of the Highways Act 1980, as amended.
Decision of the Executive Member for City Strategy
Resolved : That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.
Reason : The reason for making this decision is that it meets the criteria of the legislation, as set out in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 where restriction of public rights over these two routes would be to the benefit of the local community and that there are reasonably convenient alternative routes available.
