RESOLVED that:-

(1)          funding of a £180,000 contribution towards the Ashburton Road strategic cycling and multi-user route delivery: specifically Phase 2 (Greenaway Road to Mile End Road, plus new puffin crossing) be approved; and

(2)          the Business Manager Strategic Place and the Solicitor to the Council be given delegated authority to complete an associated funding agreement with Devon County Council.

The Portfolio Holder for Sport, Recreation & Culture presented the report to recommend a contribution towards the strategic East-West Cycle Route Delivery. The funding was from available Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) that had been earmarked for the delivery of cycle improvements in Teignbridge.

Members welcomed the delivery of this route which was already in use and provided a link which provided much improved cycle and pedestrian links noting the further element for the need for a toucan crossing at the western end of the new route.

The Portfolio Holder for Sport, Recreation & Culture proposed the recommendation, this was seconded by the Portfolio Holder for Climate Change Emergency & Housing.
