Decision - Elm Grove Safer Routes to School - the Brighton & Hove (St Leonard's Road and Melbourne Street) (One Way Traffic and Prohibition of Turning) Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) 200*

(1)      That the Cabinet Member for Environment (having taken account of all duly made representations and objections), approves the making of the The Brighton & Hove (St Leonard’s Road and Melbourne Street) (One Way Traffic and Prohibition of Turning) Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) 200* with no amendments.

(1)      Approval of the TRO is sought in order that the scheme can progress to completion.

(1)      Alternative options have been considered but have been rejected on Health & Safety grounds.  These include locating the proposed crossing nearer to the junction with Hartington Road, but this would mean that motorists turning right onto Lewes Road would be ‘on top’ of the crossing. We have also considered two-way cycling on the St Leonard’s Road (proposed one –way Westbound) and this was discussed fully at Environment Committee on 20 March. The Committee decided not to have two-way cycling.
