Minutes:

The Executive considered a report relating to an application for temporary closure of Footpath Remenham No 4 to allow the Henley Festival to be organised and run in a safe manner whilst enabling residents and visitors to continue to use the Footpath via a short detour.

 

The Executive Member for Environment advised the meeting that the proposal was for the temporary closure of the footpath during the set-up, breakdown and running of the Henley Festival.

 

Due to the fact that an application was received every year Councillor Weeks queried whether there was a possibility that for future years the recommendation could cover a longer period eg two or three years?  Councillor Jorgensen agreed to look into this to ascertain if this was a possibility.

 

Councillor Baker advised that from previous experience of the matter he didn’t believe that the item actually needed to be considered by the Executive but because of the interest in the application it had been felt that it would be appropriate for it to be considered by the Executive in order to have it discussed in a public forum.

 

RESOLVED that:

 

1)         the making of an Order for the closure of Footpath Remenham No 4, for a closure of an 80m section of the footpath for the set up and de rig of the Festival stage from Monday 9th to Wednesday 11th July 2018 inclusive and from Monday 16th July to Tuesday 17th July 2018 inclusive be approved;

 

2)         within the closure a 620m section be included for evening performances from Wednesday 11th July to Sunday 15th July 2018 inclusive and day time performances on Saturday 14th July and Sunday 15th July, under Section 16A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, subject to the receipt of the requisite consent of the Secretary of State for Transport.
