1. Summary

1.1 The following decision is sought:

That the Project Appraisal for the installation of traffic management measures, taking the form of speed tables and speed cushions, in Kipling Road, Eastleigh, to be externally funded at an estimated cost of £89,000, be approved.

2. Reason

2.1 The scheme will help manage vehicle speeds and deter extraneous through traffic from Kipling Road which will make the street safer and more secure for the residents.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected

3.1 The option of a road closure was considered as this is the most reliable method of removing extraneous traffic. The need to provide suitable turning areas on either side of any closure would limit its potential, with the best location being between the junctions of Brookwood Avenue and Drinkwater Close. This option would create a long cul-de-sac in Kipling Road and mean that all residents could only achieve vehicle access from Woodside Avenue. In the light of public opinion this option was not progressed.

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

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - None.

6. Reason(s) for the Matter being dealt with if Urgent - None.
