Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport

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

DECISION

11.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to: (1) note the recommendations made within the East Sussex Highways Alexandra Park and St. Helens Road, Hastings Cycle Route Review report dated December 2017; and

(2)        agree that the proposal to progress the route through Alexandra Park as presented in Appendix C be taken forward to detailed design and construction as part of the 2018/19 Capital Programme for Local Transport Improvements.

Reasons

11.3     Following the Lead Member’s decision in March 2017, a route review study of an alternative shared pedestrian and cycle route along St. Helens Road has been undertaken.  For the reasons identified in paragraph 2.3 of the report, it is recommended that this route option is not progressed.  As part of the route review study and further consultation with the local County Councillors, a revised alignment through the lower section of Alexandra Park, as described in paragraphs 2.4 and 2.5 of the report and shown in Appendix C of the report, was identified and should be progressed.
