Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

The City has received safety concerns from residents, regarding the unusable narrow footpath in Seymour Place and Church Street obstructed by streetlights, signposts and trees. The City is therefore proposing the installation of Shared Zones in both Church Street and Seymour Place, Paddington. This will provide priority for people walking and improve access and safety for people, particularly visibility and mobility impaired users
