Public Rights of Way - petition seeking the addition of Dead Man's Alley, Clifton to the list of street maintainable at the public expense
03/06/2008 - Public Rights of Way - Petition Seeking the Addition of Dead Man's Alley, Clifton to the List of Streets Maintainable at the Public Expense
Consideration was given to a report prepared in response to a petition signed by 78 residents of Clifton and the surrounding areas, requesting that the path known as Dead Man’s Alley be adopted by the Council.
It was reported that due to its location, within the former County Borough of York, it appeared likely that the path had been maintained by the Highway Authority for many years and that it had been missed off the List of Streets Maintainable at the Public Expense (LoS). It was therefore recommended that the path should be added to the List of Streets with immediate effect and the Council become responsible for its maintenance.
Advice of the Advisory Panel
That the Executive Member for City Strategy be advised to authorise the immediate addition of Dead Man’s Alley to the List of Streets maintainable at public expense.
Decision of the Executive Member for City Strategy
RESOLVED:That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.
REASON: To enable the alleyway to be maintained to a standard commensurate with its use.
