Briefing Note
on the Notice of Motion from Councillor Paul Harper
relating to Cycling Safety and the Gyratory System
Provided by the Head
of Planning and Development
KCC proposes to look at further capacity calculations with the addition of the permitted supermarket, and consider whether the improved capacity to be provided by the Bridges Gyratory scheme would be sufficient to allow retention of the footway/cycleway on the northern bridge at its current width. The Bridges Gyratory scheme will now progress to detailed design.
The Bridges Gyratory scheme was a specific agenda item at the Maidstone Joint Transportation Board on 3rd September. KCC’s report confirms that construction is intended to commence in 2015/16.
