The temporary closure of Lyceum Square, Crewe was necessary to allow construction work to start to deliver an improvement scheme for Lyceum Square, and in particular to ensure the health and safety of the general public. Traffic would be diverted to other public car parks in the vicinity, thus avoiding traffic congestion difficulties.
The options of partial closure or non-closure had been considered and rejected for health and safety reasons and because of the financial implications of risking a delay to the start of works.
RESOLVED
That
(1) subject to statutory consultation, an amendment be made to the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich (General) (Off Street Parking Places) (Consolidation) (Minor) Order 2008 (‘the Order’) to suspend the operation of the Order in respect of the Lyceum Square Car Park, Crewe on its days of operation as a parking place as set out at Schedule 1 to the Order (i.e. all day on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and a Sunday, and from 3pm on a Wednesday), for the period from the date that such proposed suspension order may be sealed until 30th August 2010 inclusive; and
(2) the proposal be advertised for the statutory period of 21 days and any objections be considered by the Cabinet Member at a subsequent meeting.
