Dear Mr Pollard

REF: Regulation 28 Report to prevent future deaths following the inquest of
Joyce PLESTED (Deceased)

| refer to your letter dated 23” September regarding the above matter and would
comment as follows.

Firstly | would advise that Sainsbury’s plc are responsible for the layout of the car
park and the crossing provisions provided within it. | can confirm that the access
road leading to the car park is Curzon Road which is adopted highway and as such
the Council as Highway Authority are responsible for this road.

Consideration has been given to the Department of Transports advice on the design
of pedestrian crossings and various options have been considered which would
locate the pedestrian crossing point away from the mini roundabout, as suggested by
you. Following due deliberation it is recommended to provide a pedestrian refuge as
shown on the attached plan. This proposal extends a pedestrian guard rail around
the radius of the junction which will guide pedestrians to the crossing point. It also
includes works within the car park; specifically re-locating the existing crossing away
from the junction and improving radii at the junction, which will improve access into

the car park.
~ Arrangements have been made to carry out a stage 1 & 2 Road Safety Audit in

accordance with national standards on the proposal and the results will be utilised to
determine the final scheme. It is anticipated that the audit will be completed by the

end of October.
The Council has worked closely with Sainsbury's plc in relation to the proposed
arrangements and | can confirm that, subject to final costs being agreed, they are

prepared to fund the works. The Council would then be responsible for any provision
introduced on Curzon Road as it would be on the adopted highway.

Please be advised that once a final decision has been made on the detailed scheme,
every effort will be made to carry out the work as soon as is practical, which is likely

to be early in the New Year.

Sainsbury’s have worked very closely with Trafford Borough Council on this matter and once
a final decision has been made on the option to introduce, every effort will be made to carry
out the work as soon as is practical, which is likely to be early in the New Year.

I hope that the information I have offered provides assurances that the findings of your
investigations and the areas you have highlighted for the prevention of future deaths have

been adequately dealt with.

Should you have any specific enquires please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely
