Resolved:           That the Cabinet Member:

(i)    approved the overall scheme layout, including the changes and additional measures proposed within this report (i.e. as per Option 2 in paragraph 45,  and as illustrated in Annexes A,C,D, E, F & G.

(ii)   Agreed in principal the Toucan Crossing and PROW diversion as illustrated at Annexes B & H but deferred a final decision to enable further investigative work.

(iii)  gave authorisation for all elements of the scheme to be implemented as soon as practically possible, which in some cases may need to be after associated Traffic Regulation Orders are put in place,

(iv) gave authorisation for the advertisement of the necessary Traffic Regulation Orders relating to the following:

·          an extension to the existing 20mph School Safety Zone on Haxby Road,

·          An amendment to the speed limit on the roundabout junction of Haxby Road with the A1237 Outer Ring Road,

along with authority to enact these Orders if no objections are received (any substantive objections to be considered at a future Officer in Consultation meeting).

(v)  gave authorisation for Officers to commence the necessary legal process for the proposed diversion of the existing Public Footpath, New Earswick No.1.

Reason:        To provide a safe and convenient route for pedestrians and cyclists between the villages of Haxby, Wigginton and New Earswick with the Clifton Moor leisure and retail park. In addition, the route will form the key part of a wider ‘Outer Orbital Route’ for cycling and walking from Poppleton to the University of York via Clifton Moor and Monks Cross.
