(Councillor D Brown arrived during consideration of this item)

Consideration was given to the proposed changes for incorporation into the final Local Transport Plan Strategy, and to the Draft Implementation Plan for consultation; following a four week period of stakeholder consultation the report would be submitted to full Council for final approval. 

The transport priorities reflected the wider priorities of the area contained in such plans as the Sustainable Community Strategy, the Corporate Plan, the Local Development Framework and the Economic Development Strategy.  Future investment in highways and transport would be directed to support the priority themes to ensure a sustainable future, and create conditions for business growth.

RESOLVED

1.      That the proposed changes for incorporation into the final Local Transport Plan Strategy, as detailed in Appendix 2 of the report be  agreed.

2.      That approval be given to the draft Local Transport Plan Implementation Plan to be released for stakeholder consultation on 18 January 2011, as detailed in Appendix 1 of the report.
