Langstone Area, Havant, Experimental Traffic Regulation Order PDF 91 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: Councillor Briggs presented a report to Cabinet setting out objections and representations following the advertising of an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) in Langstone, Havant, and seeking to make the ETRO permanent.
At the invitation of the Cabinet, Mr D R Holmes gave a deputation, referring to incidents that had caused damage to property adjacent to the turning circle in Langstone Avenue and seeking an amendment to the ETRO to install double yellow lines in the turning circle and relocate the associated two car parking spaces. A written representation from Mr Holmes in support of his deputation was also circulated for Cabinet members’ attention.
Whilst sympathetic to the particular views expressed by Mr Holmes, Cabinet members noted that comprehensive consultations with local residents and Ward Councillors, including two separate consultation phases and a dedicated workshop, had been held over an extended period of time and that every effort had been made to respond positively to the wide-ranging comments received. Cabinet members were satisfied that the current proposal was supported by the majority of local residents and that, on that basis, the ETRO should be made permanent.
At the conclusion of the debate the Leader thanked all the officers involved in taking forward this complex piece of work. The Leader also took the opportunity, on behalf of the Cabinet, to thank Mr Oli Seebohm for his outstanding contribution to the Council in recent years as Senior Traffic Engineer and wished him well in his future employment.
RESOLVED that the two phases of the ETRO be made permanent.
