Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report on a proposal for highway improvement works in New Hall Lane as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 'A' to the report now presented.

Improvements to the New Hall Lane local centre were identified as an early activity under the Infrastructure Delivery Plan for the Preston, South Ribble and Central Lancashire City Deal and would see improvements to public transport, cycling and walking.

It was reported that once the proposals were approved, the county council would be in a position to construct the improvement works along New Hall Lane in early 2016.  The Committee welcomed the report.

Resolved: That the recommendations set out in the report to the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport be noted, and that no additional comments or suggested alternative recommendations be made.
