Decision details
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
1)To agree to progress the implementation of
the scheme and junction modifications including signalisation and
shared use cycleway as amended following the Public
Consultation.
2)To agree the implementation of the scheme through the Transport
for Buckinghamshire Services Contract.
Reasons for the decision:
•In accordance with the Scheme of
Delegation, Contracts below the value of £5M are authorised
by the relevant Service Director
•A ‘virtual’ Public Consultation was carried out
to consider the junction changes commencing 24th July 2020 and
ending 14th August 2020, which generated 800 visitors.
•A 10% response was generated to the consultation’s
formal feedback form (79 responses in total).
•The majority of responses were in favour of the scheme
proposals (60%) and both elements of the scope: to deliver a
traffic signal-controlled junction (57%) and to deliver a shared
use cycleway (70%).
•Local Members and Stakeholders were notified of the
consultation and invited to respond.
Alternative options considered:
Not to proceed with the scheme. This would
negatively impact the proposed development of Cressex Island - as
the required highway capacity and flow improvements to reduce the
impact of expected increases in traffic associated with the
proposed development would not be delivered. This option has
therefore been rejected.
Wards Affected: Abbey;
Details of any conflict of interest declared: None
