QUESTION NO.11

QUESTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the completion of the walkway between Mount Andrew and St Edmund's estate, and to clarify if bollards will be put in place to prevent vehicular access and enable pedestrian and bicycle permeability.

REPLY:

There is a strip of green area that has passed to receivers. SDCC are endeavouring to get agreement to cede this land to the Council.  Once the land in in SDCC hands. We will design  a pedestrian link through from Mount Andrew to St. Edmonds.  We can include bollards or width restrictors to ensure that vehicles are restricted from using the link.

SDCC does understand the sensitivities that adding a link may have to some residents.  As part of the process SDCC will invite consultation on the proposal.  The nature of this consultation is not decided. Our hope is that the pedestrian link will get majority support from the residents as it will regularise what is an informal link at this moment in time.
