Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

That Cabinet approves the draft LCWIP document and appendices to go out to public consultation for a period of six weeks.

 

Minutes:

The Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Climate Change, Environment and Transport introduced the report which sought Cabinet approval to go out to consultation on the draft Shropshire Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).

 

Members welcomed the report but a query was raised regarding the remaining towns in the county which had not been included in the proposals. Members were advised that the Plan focussed on urban areas; however, the Plan would cover up to 10km around each of the seven identified towns so there was potential for further towns and villages to be included.

 

The safety of children and parents on school routes was raised. Members were advised that there was a joined up approach with schools, the Active Travel team and the Road Safety team.

 

It was noted that securing funding would be crucial in order to implement the infrastructure improvements, following a period of public consultation.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That Cabinet approves the draft LCWIP document and appendices to go out to public consultation for a period of six weeks.
