Minutes:
30.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
DECISION
30.2 RESOLVED to defer consideration of the scheme to allow officers, in liaison with Hastings Borough Council, to develop alternate proposals encompassing St Helen’s Road and other schemes utilising the Local Growth Fund monies available to support the Hastings Walking and Cycling Strategy Implementation Plan.
Reasons
30.3 The proposed pedestrian and cycle route through Alexandra Park would accord with the walking and cycling strategy for Hastings adopted by the County Council in 2014; however one of the Local Members raised concerns regarding the availability of an alternative route, and the potential for conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians at popular areas of the park near the café and bandstand. Hastings Borough Council has carried out a staged public consultation exercise to establish local views which were evenly split.
