The Director of Culture and Environment submitted a report to seek authority to process the Cycle Tracks Order required for converting a public footpath to a shared footpath/cycle track linking Rotherham Road, Middle Ox Gardens and the proposed Taylor Wimpy development at Oxclose Park/Deepwell Drive in the Halfway area of Sheffield.

Consultations have been carried out with Statutory Undertakers (i.e. utility companies), the emergency services, and other relevant bodies, including footpath societies.  Ward Councillors had also been informed.  No objections had been received at the time of writing the report.

RESOLVED: That (a) no objections be raised to the proposal to convert the public footpath, as shown as a solid black line on the plan now exhibited, to a shared footpath/cycle track.  Subject to satisfactory arrangements being made with Statutory Undertakers in connection with any of their mains and services that may be affected; and

(b) Authority be given to the Director of Legal and Governance to-

i)             take all necessary action to convert the footpath to a shared footpath/cycle track under the powers contained within Section 3 of the Cycle Tracks Act 1984;

ii)            confirm the Order as an unopposed order, in the event of no objections being received, or any objections received being resolved and withdrawn prior to the Order being confirmed.
