Issue - decisions

The Committee received a report from the Project Delivery & Environment Manager regarding the Environmental Improvement Programme.

 

Members were asked to determine which of the proposed schemes listed in Appendix A and E of the report should be allocated funding from the available £53,634 Environmental Improvement Programme budget, made up of an annual allocation of £42,800, plus the remaining budget from previous years of £10,834. 

 

Following a discussion regarding the estimated budget to each scheme it was suggested that the estimated budget of £100,000 for lighting to the footpath connecting Lammas Land with Trumpington (No 5) could be reduced by investigating the cost of solar stud lighting on the cycle path. 

 

It was also recommended that the Project Delivery & Environment Manager speak with the South Area Committee regarding the potential for it to contribute future EIP funds to the Trumpington Road end.

 

It was also recommended that the following scheme be removed:

 

·       No 9) St Andrews Street / Emmanuel Street Zebra Crossing, provision of a zebra crossing in / around St Andrews Street / Emmanuel Street.

 

County Councillor Nethsingha advised that the following proposed Traffic Regulation Order Schemes at a total estimated budget of £1,800 could be removed from appendix E as the work was being carried out by County Council:

 

·       No 3) Owlstone Road, proposed double yellow lines on one side to improve access for larger vehicles

·       No 4) Derby Street, proposed parking restrictions to address access issues.

·       No 5) Hardwick Street, proposed parking restrictions to address access issues.
