1. Summary

1.1 The following decisions are sought:

(i) That the Project Appraisal to enable completion of the final stage of the Western Distributor Road in the Western Wards of Fareham, at an estimated cost of £732,000, be approved.

(ii) That an order be made under Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be to prohibit all vehicles, except pedal cycles, from proceeding in that length of Cutter Avenue, Warsash between its junction with Warsash Road and a point 29 metres south thereof.

(iii) That the traffic regulation order referred to in (ii) above be implemented once the distributor road is completed.

2. Reason

2.1 The improvement proposal will bring about the conclusion of this long term commitment by the County Council for the completion of the distributor road. This will enable the closure of Cutter Avenue to motor traffic and thereby enhance the residents' sense of quality of place and contribute to making Hampshire safer and more secure for all.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected

3.1 Given the long standing commitment to deliver the overall scheme for the Western Distributor Road no alternatives for this final section of the route have been considered.

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.
