Agenda item

7.1

Further to a decision of this Committee at its meeting held on 7 March 2017, to make an Order, under the Cycle Tracks Act 1984, for the conversion of parts of footpaths SHE/270 and SHE/271 to a shared use footpath/cycle track, the Director of Culture and Environment submitted a report seeking authority to refer the proposed City of Sheffield (Hutcliffe Wood to Abbey Lane) Cycle Track Conversion Order 2017 to the Secretary of State for confirmation.  The report stated that this was necessary as an objection had been received to the proposed Order which, under the Act, required that it either be formally withdrawn or referred to the Secretary of State to be confirmed. 

7.2

In assessing the objection and the justifications for the conversion of the footpath to a shared Cycle Track, it was proposed that the Order be submitted to the Secretary of State for confirmation.

7.3

The proposed Cycle Tracks Order and the objection to the Order, along with the Officer’s responses were attached as appendices to the report now submitted.

7.4

RESOLVED: That the Director of Legal and Governance be requested to refer the City Of Sheffield (Hutcliffe Wood Road to Abbey Lane) Cycle Track Conversion Order 2017 to the Secretary of State for confirmation.
