Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
A scheme to improve cycling provision in the Westgate /Railway Road area of Skelmersdale is included in the 2016-17 Road Safety Programme. The scheme will provide a safe, off-road route between the residential neighbourhoods of Skelmersdale, north of Railway Road, to the Gladden Place employment area.
South of Railway Road, the route involves widening an existing footway and converting it to a shared footway/cycle track, the remaining part of the route requires construction of new cycle track, north of Railway Road to Waldron.
To enable a cycle track of suitable width to be constructed, a small area of verge at the junction of Westgate and Waldron needs to be adopted by Lancashire County Council and agreement has been reached with the land owner, West Lancashire Borough Council to undertake this.
The Cabinet approved the recommendations as set out in the report.
