REPORT OF HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Traffic Panel

1.ForInformation

1.1Requests for minor traffic measures, particularly if they involve Traffic Orders or have other implications on traffic flow, are generally considered by the Traffic Panel. The Traffic Panel consists of Council officers and representatives of the Police, emergency services, and the Bus Company. The panel seeks advice from Councillors, the refuse collection service and emergency services prior to their meeting and then makes recommendations on the requests. This process allows requests to be considered on a consistent basis across the borough and satisfies the requirement that the Police and emergency services are consulted at an early stage in the preparation of any orders.

1.2The Traffic Panel’s consideration of the issues and their recommendation is recorded in the minutes, which are circulated to all council members after the meeting. If no objections are raised to any of the items then the Panel’s recommendations are approved under delegated powers and this is reported to the next meeting of the relevant committee.

1.3The Traffic Panel met on 9 March 2005 and discussed the following item relating to this Area Committee.

i)Harwell Road – Request for waiting restrictions

The relevant Panel minute is attached for information and the recommendations are approved under delegated powers.
