Reasons for recommendations

The committee is asked to agree the recommendations to enable the progression of the major transport scheme works as per the business case that was approved and funded by the EM3 Local Enterprise Partnership.

Minutes:

Declarations of Interest: None

 

Officers attending: Cherrie Mendoza – Transport Strategy Project Manager

 

Petitions, Public Questions, Statements: None.

 

Member Discussion – key points:  

Work on Walnut Tree Close could start by the end of August if the committee was happy with the recommendations. With the one-way system operating there would be a reduction in the use of this route as a rat-run, together with fewer vehicles joining the gyratory at this point. Overall, the scheme would deliver a better local environment.
