To note the response provided by NYCC Highways in respect of the implementation of a pedestrian crossing on Market Place which concludes that it is difficult to justify the need for a zebra or signal-controlled crossing. A pedestrian refuge has also been considered however the difficulty is that there is no obvious pedestrian desire line and if implemented it would not serve all pedestrian movements.
To consider and agree to replace the litter bin located next to the Memorial benches on the cobbles on Market Place at a cost of £272 incl VAT and delivery charges
