ES20228

A brief update on the report was provided by the Assistant Director for Traffic and Parking.

Cllr Marlow (Ward Councillor) read out a brief statement on behalf of himself and the other Ward Councillors—Cllr Charles Joel and Councillor Robert Evans. The Ward Councillors expressed concerns regarding the possible uprooting of trees and safety issues on the zebra crossings. It was requested that if there were any trees that were uprooted, that they be re-planted. They expressed the view that the post completion survey yielded mixed results and that ‘measures of success’ should be clearly defined before the implementation of future schemes. 

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to: 

1) Approve the proposals to rectify the current situation at the westbound bus stop near Orpington Station when buses change drivers which causes delays to other traffic, utilising grant funding from TfL of £77k.

2) Agree that any minor changes to the design of this scheme deemed necessary on site are delegated to the Director of Environment and Public Protection, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder and Ward Members.
