Decision details

Proposed pedestrian crossing outside Sandown Primary School, The Ridge, Hastings - consultation results and update for petitioners

Decision Maker: Lead Member for Transport and Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To report the results of a local consultation exercise on a pedestrian crossing scheme along The Ridge, outside Sandown Primary School, Hastings, and address a submitted petition requesting an update on the design and construction for the proposal.

Decisions:

12.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.

DECISION

12.2     RESOLVED to (1) note the results of the local consultation relating to the proposed pedestrian crossing, and provide an update to petitioners on the scheme’s progress; and

(2) agree that the proposal should be taken forward to detailed design and construction as part of the 2017/18 Capital Programme for Local Transport Improvements. 

Reasons

12.3     The upgrade of the existing zebra crossing to a puffin crossing was one of the recommendations arising from the “Ridge Movement and Access Study” and funding has been allocated from the County Council’s 2016/17 capital programme for local transport improvements to carry out design work on the scheme.  There is considerable local support for the upgrade to the existing crossing facility, as evidenced by the result of the recent consultation and petition.
