9.3 |
Reasons For The Decision |
||
|
|
||
|
The purpose of the Highways Budget is to respond to local requests for highway improvements. Traffic and parking is one of the Central Community Assembly Plan priorities. The 2012/13 budget of £40,000 will only allow for small schemes to be implemented in this financial year, but the proposals set out in the report respond to requests from local residents, and build on the work carried out through the Walkley Traffic Review last year |
||
|
|
||
9.4 |
Alternatives Considered and Rejected |
||
|
|
||
|
Several alternative options for spend had been considered, but had not currently been recommended for funding, including an additional Speed Indication Device at a cost of £7,000, alternative sites for locating Speed Indication Devices and alternative sites for yellow line markings. |
