North South Active Travel Route in Southport – Next Steps Report of the Chief Legal and Democratic Officer Additional documents:
Minutes: The Committee considered (a) the report of the Chief Legal and Democratic Officer, which set out the decision of the Cabinet Member – Locality Services in relation to the North South Active Travel Route in Southport – Next Steps and the reasons why the decision had been called-in; and (b) the report of the Assistant Director of Place (Highways and Public Protection) which was considered by the Cabinet Member – Locality Services in relation to this matter.
The decision taken by the Cabinet Member – Locality Services on 11 January 2024 in relation to this matter was as follows:
Decision Made:
That
Reason for Decision:
Cabinet Member had previously approved the scheme noting that they would be delivered using Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTRO) and be subject to monitoring and evaluation prior to any decision over whether they be retained as permanent. The current TTRO expires in early 2024 and therefore it is appropriate to now determine whether the scheme is retained, modified or removed, in order to enable the formal consultation process associated with any permanent TRO to be undertaken.
Should Cabinet Member accept the recommendations identified above, then resources can be allocated to progressing the further actions identified and included within the development of a Pipeline of projects to help inform the City Region Combined Authority in their bid for future funding.
