M6 Junction 33 Reconfiguration with Link Road and Lancaster City Movement and Public Realm Strategy

Approval is sought to take forward the preferred option for the M6 Junction 33 Reconfiguration with Link Road and the three options for the Lancaster City Centre Movement and Public Realm Strategy.

 

A six week public consultation was held on the M6 Junction 33 Reconfiguration with Link Road Route Options to help identify the best option considering environmental constraints, highway engineering, traffic modelling and public opinion. The public consultation also considered the Lancaster City Centre Movement and Public Realm Strategy Route Options and this report identifies three options to be taken forward for further analysis.

 

The consultation received 598 responses. A consultation report and preferred options report presented at Appendices 'A' and 'B' compiles and summarises the comments received to the M6 Junction 33 Link Road and provides a response to the matters raised. A separate consultation report presented at Appendix 'D' compiles and summarises the comments received to the Lancaster City Centre Movement and Public Realm Strategy and similarly responds to these.

 

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C19 have been complied with.
