A report informing the Sub-Committee of objections that have been received during the latest statutory consultation for the proposal to install a zebra crossing on Norcot Road.

The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report informing the Sub-Committee of objections that had been received during the latest Statutory Consultation for the proposal to instal a zebra crossing on Norcot Road.  Feedback that had been received to the statutory consultation was attached to the report at Appendix 1 and a drawing showing the proposal for the zebra crossing was attached to the report at Appendix 2.

The report explained that a consultation had been carried out in October 2022.  However, it had been decided that the affected bus stop needed to be moved further away from the crossing in order to ensure there was adequate visibility of pedestrians; a second consultation had therefore been carried out in February 2022.  This proposal required the removal of on street parking bays and following objection from residents, the decision had been deferred.  Officers had now carried out a third consultation with a new location for the zebra crossing, which did not require the removal of any on street parking bays and ensured there was good visibility of pedestrians who would be using the crossing.

Resolved –

(1)     That the report be noted;

(2)     That having considered the consultation feedback in Appendix 1, attached to the report, the proposal be implemented;

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

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