PDF 3 MB Minutes: The Executive Board Member considered a report on proposals to convert the existing footway adjacent to Heol Elli and Heol Trostre Llanelli to a shared use facility for both cyclists and pedestrians. If introduced, it would form part of a wider Welsh Government grant funded road safety and active travel scheme for the area with the aim being to encourage an increase in walking and cycling by improving existing paths and enhancing road safety, especially for those travelling to local schools. The Executive Board Member noted the appropriate procedure for conversion of a footway to a cycle track required the removal of the footway under Section 66(4) of the Highways Act 1980 and constructing a new cycle track with a right of way on foot under Section 65(1) of the Act. Whilst the new facility would be classed as a cycle track, it would have a pedestrian right of way, hence the term ‘shared use’ It was noted that all statutory stakeholders, including properties fronting the path, had been consulted and not objected to the scheme RESOLVED that the council proceed with the resolution to convert the existing footway adjacent to Heol Elli and Heol Trostre to a shared use cycle way with a pedestrian right of way
5.	DECISION RECORD - 27TH JANUARY, 2021 PDF 188 KB Minutes: RESOLVED that the decision record of the meeting of the Executive Board Member for Environment held on the 27^th January 2021 be signed as a correct record.
