Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport

18.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport, together with the comments of Councillor Metcalfe, the local Eastbourne Borough Councillor. 

DECISION

18.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to advise the petitioners that the findings of the independent “Noise and Vibration Assessment” conducted in December 2015 are applicable and that that no action is required to address the traffic calming feature.  However, should there be an opportunity in the future to address the traffic calming feature in terms of the setting of the blocks or the road surface, they could be taken through the normal maintenance process.   

Reasons

18.3     The feature has been the subject of an independent survey, as suggested by the Local Government Ombudsman.  No action is required to address the traffic calming feature.  The road will continue to be inspected regularly and any immediate safety issues will be addressed as appropriate.
