The scheme also proposes alterations to and the introduction of restrictions in Chart Road Sackville Crescent Sir Henry Brackenbury Road and Templer Way.On assessment of the representations made during the consultation period it is the advice of Officers that the benefits of this proposed scheme outweigh the merits of the objections received and so implementation of the scheme as proposed should be recommended by the Board.
