Decision:
Cabinet received a report requesting consideration of proposals to revoke the taxi rank on Danestrete, Stevenage, to facilitate the safe continuation of the SG1 regeneration scheme (Plot A) by repositioning the existing hoarding line to the kerb edge, thus allowing necessary scaffolding access and additional working space. The proposal would also ensure the safety of pedestrians and maintain access in and around Westgate by installing a temporary walkway. Officers advised they would keep Members updated on the safety measures being put in place.
It was RESOLVED:
1.
That the revocation of the adopted taxi rank in Danestrete, Stevenage be approved.
2. That it be noted that officers are looking at the potential for relocating the aforementioned taxi rank to another site within the Town Centre.
