Issue - decisions

Resolved: That the proposed scheme, shown in Annex C of the report, be approved for implementation with the following amendment:

·        The bus lay-by will not be in-filled,  but a slight change will be made to the positioning of the speed cushions plus some hatch road markings added (as shown on drawing TP/150019/THRD/GA/01C)

·        Visibility from side accesses will be reviewed prior to implementation. 

·        Post-implementation monitoring will take place to assess the effectiveness of the scheme.

Reason:     To address a road safety concern identified on Thanet  Road. The proposal to fill-in the lay-by was to stop it being available for drivers to bypass the adjacent speed cushions. However, having reviewed the design, it was felt that the addition of some hatch road markings, coupled with a slight adjustment of the cushions positions, would make this unlikely to become a problem.
