Decision details

(1)  To proceed with the shortlist of interventions set out in paragraph 3.8 of the report:

(a)  Controlled crossing in the Roundhill Grove junction area; and

(b)  Mini roundabout (improvements) along Mount Road.

With reference to 3.8(a) it is proposed to provide a raised zebra crossing between Mount Grove and Roundhill Grove.

  And 3.9:

(a)  Speed cushions along Mount Road and outside the primary school.

(b)  Continuous crossings along the side roads which meet Mount Road, supported by narrowing the side road junctions;

(c)  Widening the western footway to the southern end of Mount Road, and around the existing bus stops; and

(d)  Extend the school “Keep clear” zig zags and double yellow lines outside the primary school.

With reference to 3.9(a) raised pedestrian crossing points across Mount Road are proposed in lieu of speed cushions.

Now taking them forward to preliminary design and engagement.

(2)  To note that the proposed shortlist is based on work done with communities to first identify their needs and then co-design potential solutions to address those needs, as summarised in Appendix A of the report.

(3)  To note that the proposed shortlist was next subject to technical review, both in terms of alignment with the Liveable Neighbourhoods strategy and other factors such as cost, practicalities and timelines, as summarised in Appendix B of the report.

(4)  To note that the proposed shortlist was then referenced back to the application put forward by the primary school in Spring 2021 to ensure that the package of interventions satisfied the aims of the original proposal.

(5)  To note that the ability to proceed is subject to funding being available for the design, engagement, consultation and implementation work required as a result of this decision.

For clarity the proposed scheme contains no modal filters at either end of Mount Road.

To enable the project to maintain its current timetable and to deliver maximum benefit and value to the community as soon as possible.

None.
