Report ES16030

The report detailed proposals to help alleviate congestion and improve road safety in High Street Penge and at the junction of High Street Penge / Green Lane / Croydon Road.  The scheme would also make significant improvements to the public realm in the High Street, which would complement schemes being undertaken by the Town Centre Planning & Regeneration Team in the Planning Department.

The Committee noted that Ward Members were supportive of the proposals.

The Portfolio Holder thanked the Ward Members for their input into the development of the proposals.

RESOLVED: That the Portfolio Holder be recommended to agree:

(a) That the proposed improvements to High Street Penge and at its junction with Croydon Road and Green Lane are implemented, subject to a consultation with property owners and businesses adjacent to the scheme.

(b) That approval be given to the scheme at a cost of £450,000 which will be met from the Borough’s Local Implementation Plan (LIP) fund and Transport for London Bus congestion reduction / disability access funding, subject to final confirmation from TfL.

(c) That authority to make any further minor modifications, which may arise as a result of proposed consultations, be delegated to the Executive Director of Environment and Community Services.
