Decision - Hanover & Tarner Liveable Neigbourhood

Reports on the Hanover & Tarner Liveable Neighbourhood scheme progress to date, following community and stakeholder engagement and options appraisal processes. The report recommends that the preferred option is committed to a public consultation exercise, then revised accordingly, with detailed design to be completed thereafter; and for the required scheme Traffic Regulation Orders to be advertised; and any complementary Experimental Traffic Regulations to be implemented; and finally, for construction contracts to be procured

That Committee 1) Welcomes the progress made through local community engagement and co-production, which has helped develop the preferred option for the Hanover & Tarner Liveable Neighbourhood . 2) Agrees that the preferred option, as shown in Appendix 1 of this report is progressed through a public consultation exercise, and that the proposed final scheme be reported back to a future meeting of this committee. 3) Agrees that, based on current cost estimates, consideration will be given to seeking additional funding from the 2022-23 Carbon Neutral Fund, as outlined in 7.1, subject to approval by the Policy & Resources committee in the second half of 2022. 4) Agrees the proposed Project Monitoring Framework set out in Appendix 4 of this report. 5) Agrees that officers will engage with members of the local community to explore potential mitigation and improvement measures on roads that border the pilot LTN project. This will include the prioritization of those measures, should there be insufficient funds, to carry out all the potential measures explored.

The preferred concept plan proposes changes to roads and public spaces in the Hanover and Tarner area, including road closures, traffic calming, bus lay-bys, cycle hangars, greening and new crossing points. The plan is intended to be taken forward for public consultation, with some details still to be confirmed.
