Minutes:
The Forum was informed that on the outline planning application from SEGRO the S106 agreement was still to be signed. The plans for Kennedy Park were not progressing at present due to the Council’s financial situation. AD advised that the level of detail on the SEGRO plan could not be agreed at this stage as the developments would be taking place across the next 20 years. SEGRO had been asked to achieve a modal shift in terms of transport use or they would incur penalties. TE commented that he felt an overlying vision was required in order to ensure that measures for transport were not disjointed.
JW provided the draft plans for three highways developments taking place. The Heart of Slough development plans included removal of the Brunel Roundabout and subway and the addition of pedestrian crossing points on the A4. The traffic signals would be linked to improve traffic flow. AD agreed to provide a cross section of the area. Members were asked to email any comments on the plan to JW as soon as possible. Plans were also provided for the Copthone Roundabout which was in the initial stages and the Co-op/ Sainsbury’s roundabout which was shortly due to come to completion. Members were advised that they could retain copies of the plans if they so wished.
Resolved - That the continue to be updated on the ongoing process for the SEGRO planning application.
That any comments o the plans be emailed to JW as soon as possible.
