Minutes:
The Committee received a report from John Richards,
the Senior Engineer, requesting that the Committee considered bids received by
Cambridgeshire County Council for Local Highways Improvement (LHI) schemes in
North area for 2016-17, and determined a priority list of up to 8 projects to
be further considered by Cambridge Joint Area Committee and it’s nominated
assessment panel (within the funding available across the City for 2016-17)
from those listed in Appendix A of the Officer’s report.
Q1. Member
of the Public
The
situation in Mariner’s Way was dangerous. Car park on a blind bend making is
impossible for large vehicles, including emergency vehicles, to gain access.
Q2. Ian Darrack
Agreed
with the above speaker. Last month there was a head on collision and there
had been many near misses. Construction traffic adds to the difficulties.
Q3. Member
of the Public
Supports
the proposal for action regarding Bateson Road and Garden Walk. Both are
widely used by young people.
Q.4.
Councillor Pitt
Welcomed
the proposal for Herbert Street. Suggested that the
committee should support proposals that had come from local residents.
Q5.
Councillor Bird
Mariner’s
Way proposal should be supported. Edinburgh Road and Kinross Road also need
attention.
In addition,
verge parking should be addressed.
Q6.
Councillor Bird
Is there any
funding available for dropped kerb work?
A. Work was
ongoing on previous proposals and a report would be coming back to North Area
Committee in the future.
The Chair proposed the following:
001 Cockerell Road to be
removed as it was likely to be prohibitively expensive.
006 Hurrell Road to be
removed until further consultation had been undertaken.
008 High Street, Chesterton to be dropped as it was
unlikely to be deliverable.
The Senior Engineer confirmed that once the Committee
had agreed possible projects, detailed costing would be undertaken in readiness
for the assessment panel.
Resolved
(unanimously)
Selected
the following 8 projects which it considered to be the highest priority, for
further consideration and adoption by Cambridge Joint Area Committee and its
nominated assessment panel.
