Report of the Cabinet Member Development and Safety

RESOLVED THAT

the spending on the Phase 2 of the Pedestrian Wayfinding Project be approved as follows:

·         £25,700 from Pittville Campus S106 funds; and

·         £19,800 from Local Sustainable Transport Funds

The Cabinet Member Development and Safety introduced the report and explained that Phase 1 of the pedestrian Wayfinding project was now implemented. Wayfinding Phase 2 was identified in the Cheltenham Development Task Force Business Plan. The Borough Council had money from two external funding sources specifically to assist with the implementation of Phase 2 of the project. It was recommended that Cabinet approved the use of funds from these sources to implement Phase 2 of the Pedestrian Wayfinding project as follows :

·         £25 700 Section 106 money from the Pittville Campus development (the entirety of this funding source)

·         £19, 800 Local Sustainable transport Fund under-spend from Phase 1 of the wayfinding project (the entirety of this residue)

He highlighted that signage would extend further out of the town centre at two strategic locations. It had been a successful initiative so far.

Members welcomed this as a positive step forward.
