Advice of the Advisory Panel

That the Executive Member for City Strategy be advised to:

(i)                 Note the contents of the report;

(ii)               Agree not to include a scheme for junction improvements at Deighton in the capital programme for 2008/09 but to consider a scheme for all future programmes.

Decision of the Executive Member for City Strategy

RESOLVED:That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.

REASON:            That it would require displacement of other schemes from the capital programme that appear to offer greater value for money and the issue of whether a right-turn lane into the village will significantly improve safety at the junction, given that accident data suggests turning right out of the village is more likely to result in a collision.
