The Committee considered three Members’ items.

 

i.              The Chairman, Councillor Brian Gordon invited Councillor Sury Khatri who introduced the Member’s item in his name, which related to the proposal for a new pedestrian Crossing in Langstone Way Mill Hill East NW7.

 

Following consideration of the Member’s item, the Committee RESOLVED:

It was therefore RESOLVED:

 

That the Commissioning Director for Environment be instructed to include Broadfiels Avenue South as part of future footway parking works.
