Decision details

This report will provide details of the recent public consultation carried out for the Harrow Market Experimental Scheme in Langley and will consider options for the future permanent layout of this junction.

(a)  That the general principles of the proposed layout of the Harrow Market shown in Figure 5.1 be approved.

(b)  That Council officers proceed with detailed design, following consultation with the Commissioner for Social & Economic Inclusion, and are allowed a degree of flexibility in the design of the final scheme based upon the results of the following:

o  Road Safety Audits of the proposed scheme.

o  A survey of current services in the ground e.g. gas, water, electricity, on the understanding that widening of the carriageway to the south of the junction may be prohibitively expensive. 

o  A statutory consultation including emergency services, the freight haulage association etc. will be carried out if traffic regulation orders or traffic calming is proposed.

(c)  That Council officers report to the Councillors of the affected wards any significant changes to the design proposed in Figure 5.1 of the report.

(d)  That, subject to a satisfactory detailed design, construction of the final layout goes ahead within the current financial year 2014/15.
