1. Summary

1.1 The following decision is sought:

    That the attached Project Appraisal for pedestrian improvements to the Romsey Road/Twyford Road Roundabout in Eastleigh, at an estimated cost of £96,000, be approved.

2. Reason

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected

3.1 A scheme comprising cycle crossing facilities around the arms of the roundabout has been rejected as being impractical.

3.2 Possible installation of Sculpture Art work on the roundabout has been rejected at this time due to proximity of services and the long term possibility of signalisation at this junction as part of the Chickenhall Lane Link Road scheme.

4. Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Decision Maker or Other Executive Member Consulted - None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - Not applicable.

6. Reason(s) for the Matter being dealt with if Urgent - Not applicable.
