requests that further assessment be given to the potential for the installation of:-

(i)      a one way system at Skelton Lane, Woodhouse; and

(ii)     crossing improvements at the junction of Springwater Avenue and Birley Spa Lane, Hackenthorpe

(b)

delegates the decision on which work to progress to the Community Assembly Manager, in conjunction with the Community Assembly Chair and Highways Link Officer, following the provision of further information on both schemes to all South East Community Assembly Members.

1.3

Reasons for Decision

The Community Assembly’s Highways budget needs to be allocated in the 2012-13 financial year.  It is currently assessing the possibilities and merits of two schemes and thus needs to delegate the final decision in order to meet funding deadlines.

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

The report outlined two different possible areas for work, one at Woodhouse (SkeltonLane/Spa Lane), where there were two different options under consideration, a one way system and waiting restrictions, and one at Hackenthorpe (Springwater Avenue/Birley Spa Lane).    Members were not pursuing information on any other large highways schemes at this time.
