The report
to council based on feedback from exhibition in October excluded many resident
suggestions. The proposal remains confined to the southern side of Abercrombie
Street and looks like an upgrade of the walking strip rather than a whole
Village Upgrade. Following feedback a flush road treatment at Ivy Street was
added at the Council meeting. A raised threshold wasn’t considered possible due
to “storm water drainage constraints and Roads Authority technical
requirements”. Councillors Doutney and McInerney proposed an amended motion,
which was unanimously supported, that a scoping report be prepared for Council
covering the areas excluded from the current plan.
Requests
for a seat in memory of Trevor Davies during the consultation have been noted
and will be referred to Council’s Plaques Group for consideration. If accepted
a plaque in memory of Trevor could be incorporated.
