Date: 26th February 2007
Decision(s) and Reason(s)
Borough Council Input on Highway Works 2006/07
Minutes
The report updated the position on schemes within the Local Transport Plan which had been supported by contributions from the Borough Council's Capital Plan during the current financial year. Consideration was also given to the County Council's proposals for works in Castle Way, Leybourne and a suggestion made that a presentation be given to the Parish Partnership Panel by a Parish Council with experience of the Speedwatch Initiative.
Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation resolved that:
1) subject to local residents being content with the details of the traffic calming scheme and the County Council addressing soft landscaping issues, the proposals in respect of Castle Way shown on the drawings be supported by the Borough Council and the scheme be implemented as soon as possible; and
2) the County Council be urged to bring forward measures to control HGV access and parking and appropriate action be taken in conjunction with the Borough Council if there is an urgent need to do so.
Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board of 26 February 2007.
