The purpose of the report was to provide an update following the December meeting when the committee considered a petition for a pelican crossing to replace the zebra crossing on the Aldershot Road at St Joseph’s School.

Members thanked the Headteacher of St Jospehs School for putting in place a crossing patrol while a permanent solution is found.  Members clarified that the cost of the patrol is solely falling on St Josephs School.

A wish was expressed by some Members that the crossing should be upgraded to a Pelican crossing in the future.  The Chairman referred the Committee to the response to the Member question around funding for the crossing patrol at appendix C of the Minutes.  He confirmed that the scheme had been reclassified as ‘high’ within the Prioritisation Framework and that the Transportation Task group would be looking at it in the future.
