Decision:

Minutes:

Michelle Love, Safer Travel Manager, presented the report, explaining that whist this is a non-statutory function there are 54 key sites in the city for school crossing patrols. This helped to encourage children walk to school and met the public health objective of tackling childhood obesity.  Therefore the sites had been audited regarding their infrastructure and prioritised, as set out in the report.

 

Councillor Jo Hooper, Paulsgrove Ward, addressed the Cabinet Member to raise questions regarding some of sitings of crossings in Paulsgrove (Marsden Road and Beacon View).  Michelle Love would look into the issues she raised and respond outside of the meeting.

 

Councillor Heaney was fully in support of the proposal.  Councillor Bosher agreed that the budget should be put in place and for further engagement with ward councillors regarding specific installations.  Michelle Love undertook to keep ward councillors informed and reiterated that this report was to address the first 6 sites with the highest need and the signs would make drivers more aware of the crossing points.  Councillor Stagg was happy to approve the report's recommendation.
