6. Conservation Area Review
The report was noted and that Cheshire East Council is conducting an internal review of the draft Management Plan.
7. Town Character Assessment
The report was noted and that the quotations for the town character assessment are still under evaluation.
8. Flowerpot Junction Improvements
The committee made the following observations on the junction improvements:
- The improvements are welcomed but the scheme appears to prioritise traffic flow above safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
- The lack of cycle lanes is disappointing and a missed opportunity to improve the safety for cyclists at this key junction.
- The committee seeks that active travel and supporting infrastructure is emphasised with the safety of pedestrians and cyclists prioritised.
- The addition of traffic light filters for vehicles turning right from Oxford Road into Ivy Lane and Congleton Road to Park Lane would improve safety.
The comments will be returned to Cheshire East Council via the public engagement exercise.
