(a)       That no restrictions will be proposed in this report for the Stanford Area due to opposition amongst residents and businesses in the area.

(b)       That the whole of The Martlet area and Preston Park Avenue area be progressed to final design and the Traffic Regulation Order advertised, subject to the amendments outlined in this committee report.

(c)       That Millers Road, Compton Road & Inwood Crescent residents be contacted again by letter drop to ensure that they are aware a scheme will be progressed around them and to give them a further opportunity to decide whether to be in or outside of this scheme.

(d)       That the Preston Park Station area be progressed to the final design and the Traffic Regulation Order advertised, subject to the amendments outlined in this committee report.  This design may or may not include Millers Road, Compton Road & Inwood Crescent depending on the results of the letter drop.
