Cabinet is also being asked (items 11.1 and 11.2 below) to agree to delegated approval to allow Traffic Regulation Orders and Disabled Parking bays to be advertised in the future.  Any representations that are received in response to these advertisements will still need to be considered by the Cabinet.

(a)           the Traffic Regulation Orders be advertised as set out in Report 11.1;

(b)           the Traffic Regulation Orders be advertised for new disabled parking bays as set out in Report 11.2;

(c)           the footpath through the Winter Gardens site be diverted as set out in Report 11.3;

(d)           the bridleway on Longfleet Drive be defined as set out in Report 11.4;

(e)           the decision whether to make an Order to define a bridleway on the path between James Road and Sheringham Road as set out in Report 11.5 be deferred and passed to the Transport Advisory Group once established for their consideration; and

(f)            authority be delegated to the Director of Growth and Infrastructure to make Traffic Regulation Orders and related Highways Orders where the required public has been undertaken and no objections have been received.

Voting: Unanimous

REASONS

To enable the relevant Traffic Regulation Orders to be made and required public consultation exercises to be undertaken. The delegation will enable future orders to be made without requiring Cabinet report and approval in cases where no objections have been received.

The Portfolio Holder for Transport and Infrastructure presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'G' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

The report sought Cabinet approval for public consultation on a number of proposed Traffic Regulation Orders and for consideration of Rights of Ways Issues. The Cabinet was also asked to agree to delegate approval to allow Traffic Regulation Orders and Disabled Parking bays to be advertised in the future, with any representations received in response to these advertisements being considered by the Cabinet.

The Leader advised in relation to these items that as raised earlier in the meeting it would be the intention that in future such items would be submitted to the Transport Advisory Group once established which would then discuss the items prior to coming to Cabinet.

RESOLVED that:-

(a)           the Traffic Regulation Orders be advertised as set out in Report 11.1;

(b)           the Traffic Regulation Orders be advertised for new disabled parking bays as set out in Report 11.2;

(c)           the footpath through the Winter Gardens site be diverted as set out in Report 11.3;

(d)           the bridleway on Longfleet Drive be defined as set out in Report 11.4;

(e)           the decision whether to make an Order to define a bridleway on the path between James Road and Sheringham Road as set out in Report 11.5 be deferred and passed to the Transport Advisory Group once established for their consideration; and

(f)            authority be delegated to the Director of Growth and Infrastructure to make Traffic Regulation Orders and related Highways Orders where the required public has been undertaken and no objections have been received.
