Minutes:
The Executive Mayor introduced the latest report on the 10 Experimental Traffic Management Orders supporting the Healthy School Streets Schemes. There was a 6-month statutory objection period during the first six months, where community feedback was sought through the Get
Involved online survey as well as monitoring traffic and air quality impacts.
Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Councillor Maria Gatland left the meeting due to a conflict of interest as she lives in the vicinity of a school on the list.
Cllr Tony Pearson, Deputy Cabinet Member for Regulatory Services Hale provided Cabinet with an overview of the Experimental Traffic Orders response which was low this time around. Cabinet noted that eight of the ten Orders would be made permanent. St Peter’s Primary will be withdrawn as there were a significant number of objections relating to adverse traffic impacts in the local area, caused by increased congestion and inconsiderate parking, worsening road safety for pupils.
The Shadow Cabinet Member for Streets and Environment, Councillor Christopher Herman welcomed the report noting that a safer environment outside of schools can only be a good thing and hopes the council will continue to improve the portal to avoid fines for exempt drivers and make it more convenient for users.
The Executive Mayor responded that improvements to the portal and the schemes are being looked at and there will be a review of the schemes in the future.
