Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Head of Estates & Operations.

With the permission of the Chair, this item was raised up the agenda.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Head of Estates & Operations concerning the installation of a bollard at Farmers Close, Witney.

Members welcomed the request, noting that it would provide greater protection to well-used amenity land in the Council’s ownership from existing maintenance budgets. They were satisfied that the proposed improvement would not impede pedestrians and that the path would remain accessible for bicycles, mobility aids and the Council’s grounds maintenance equipment.

Officers advised that installation would be subject to approval from Oxfordshire County Council and the emergency services.

Recommended:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the installation of a bollard in the area presented at Farmers Close in the report be agreed, subject to the necessary permissions being granted.
