The Cabinet considered a report which sought approval to carry out a consultation of Chalvey residents and affected road users to gauge support for a range of measures to ease traffic flow and reduce congestion in this area of the town. It was noted that there was an expansive consultation carried out last year with Chalvey residents in which traffic problems was raised as a major issue. The outcomes of the consultation would be reported back to Cabinet at the next meeting. A Commissioner asked what the timeframe was for carrying out highway improvements. It was noted that this would need to be looked at once the consultation had been completed.
