Minutes:

Lead Principal Lawyer Matthew Neal presented this report which was to enable the Committee to review the continuing need for advisory groups and to appoint Members to serve on those that are to be retained in 2021/2022.

 

The report followed on from a report in March 2021 when the Active Travel Members Working Group had been established comprising 8 Members. There was also an Active Travel Forum which was outward facing and open to any individual with an interest. The Group was to interact with the Forum and route recommendations to this Committee for consideration.

 

Members queried the benefits of any recommended active travel schemes if they conflicted with economic schemes but were remined that the Committee would make a final decision, taking account any recommendations from the Active Travel Working Group. It was noted that there was some cross-over with the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee regarding active travel schemes.

 

Councillor Tony Jones proposed amendments that the membership be drawn from this Committee and the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee; that  the  Chair be appointed Chair of the Active Travel Working Group; and that authority be delegated to the Director of Law and Governance to make consequential amendments to the terms of reference of the Active Travel Working Group.

 

This was seconded by Councillor Dave Mitchell

 

The amendments were agreed by assent.
