Minutes:
The report provided members with an evaluation of lessons learnt from the London 2012 Olympic Games and gave an update on arrangements specifically for the management of coach parking during the 2013 UEFA Champions League Final which was scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium, following successful delivery of this event in 2011.
Members heard that lessons had been learnt from the successful event that took place in 2011 and that officers were taking steps to ensure that contingency plans were in place for another successful event, the 2013 UEFA Championship. It was noted that there was a small possibility that Fryent Way would be required for coach parking on Saturday 25 May 2013. Officers were therefore working closely with the management of Wembley national Stadium to explore all the possible coach parking opportunities around Wembley Stadium to ensure that the use of Fryent Way would only be required as a contingency arrangement.
Paul Chandler, Head of Transportation stated that given the success of the arrangement in 2011 it was proposed to make the necessary traffic orders to facilitate coach parking on Fryent Way as a contingency arrangement, subject to residents being able to access their properties if affected by a potential closure.
RESOLVED:
that the lessons learnt following the 2012 Olympic Games and the progress on transportation and coach parking arrangements for the delivery of the 2013 UEFA Champions League Final be noted.
