That is some sage advice. It also chimes with a worst-case I expressed to @neddie where officers say 'well the best we can do for now is monitoring and bring this back to TEC in three cycles'.
The question there is - what form does that fall-back position take? I assume it's essentially a motion from another party at TEC to amend the officers report to e.g. 'Instructs officers to urgently implement a TRSO for these measures and retain the existing filters, a method that has not yet been used by this Council but is legislatively very much at its disposal'.
Cllr Savage is going to follow whatever Jenkinson does, Jenkinson is going to follow Officer recommendations - though the window of opportunity here is assumedly compelling deputations on the matter. We're then at the mercy of the Leb Dims at TEC siding with that argument. The party of Dodgy Debbie the Integrity candidate could do the right thing, but at least they're predictable and we know they won't.
The more I think about this the more I think pressure from Canaan Lane Primary and the Royal Blind School is the key here. We've heard from affected residents on Braid Ave at TEC - how about schools that with filters in place still have safe driving issues now, never mind introducing more through-traffic.
