(a)      Objections to 2024B Programme

(b)      2024B Programme Update

A report informing the Sub-Committee of objections resulting from the statutory consultation for the agreed proposals that formed the 2024A programme and providing an update on the 2024B Programme.

The Sub-Committee received a report informing them of objections that had resulted from the statutory consultation for the agreed proposals that had formed the 2024A Waiting Restriction Review Programme.  Objections and other feedback that had been received to the statutory consultation for the 2024A programme and the advertised drawings relating to those proposals were attached to the report at Appendix 1.

The report explained that at the meeting on 11 September 2024 (Minute 17 refers) a list of requests for potential inclusion into the 2024B Programme had been submitted and the Sub-Committee had agreed the locations that should be investigated for potential treatment.  The officer resource for carrying out this work had been occupied with other high priority work, particularly the TRO Rectification Project, see Minute 7 above.  While some work had commenced, it was not sufficiently advanced for submitting to this meeting and it was expected that scheme recommendations would be submitted to the September 2025 meeting.  Initial recommendations would be shared with Ward Councillors for comment ahead of that meeting as usual.

Resolved –

(1)      That the report be noted;

(2)      That the following proposals made under the waiting restriction review 2024A programme, as set out in Appendices 1, attached to the report, be implemented, amended or removed from the programme, subject to any valid and substantive objections being received, as follows:

·       Bembridge Place – Implement as advertised;

·       Northcourt Avenue – Remove from the programme;

·       Oak Tree Road – Implement as advertised;

·       Armour Road – Officer comments noted;

·       Newcastle Road – Implement as advertised;

·       Addison Road – Remove from the programme;

·       Westwood Road – Implement as advertised;

·       Childrey Way – Remove from the programme;

(3)      That should any further valid written/postal objections be received after this meeting, provided they were sent within the statutory consultation period, the Executive Director of Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services, in consultation with the Assistant Director of Legal and Democratic Services, the Lead Councillor for Climate Strategy and Transport and the Chair of the Traffic Management Sub-Committee consider these and make a decision regarding the implementation, or otherwise, of the scheme;

(4)      That the Assistant Director of Legal and Democratic Services be authorised to make and seal the resultant Traffic Regulation Order;

(5)      That respondents to the statutory consultation be informed of the decisions of the Sub-Committee accordingly, following publication of the agreed minutes of the meeting;

(6)      That no public inquiry be held into the proposals.
