Minutes:

The Executive Member for Environment and Regulatory Servicessubmitted a report which provided background information on the implementation of 20mph zones and streets nationally and provided a solution for proposed implementation in Trafford. In discussion it was noted that any proposed scheme would be subject to a formal consultation process; and that a more broadly-based scheme would have entailed significant additional cost implications. It was agreed that further information would be provided outside the meeting in response to a query regarding technical aspects of the assessment parameters as set out in the report’s appendix.

 

            RESOLVED -

 

(1)       That the background information relative to the evaluation of 20mph streets and zones in recent years be noted.

 

(2)       That approval be given to the prioritisation of 20mph schemes with the matrix that has been developed as included in Appendix A to the report.

 

(3)       That authority be delegated to the Corporate Director for Place for future approval of 20mph streets in conjunction with the Executive Member for Environment and Regulatory Services where the request or needs meet the prioritisation criteria which includes improving safety in and around school streets.

 

(4)       That the funding allocated this current financial year by TfGM for safety around school streets to contribute towards this priority be noted.

 

(5)       That it be noted that there is currently no capital allocation in 2021/22 for 20mph streets or zones but that a bid will be put forward for consideration in 2022/23 following a review of applications and streets that meet the criteria for consideration that has been developed.
