Decision details

RESOLVED:

(1)   That the Cabinet noted the attached LCWIP Consultation report at Appendix A.

(2)   That the Cabinet endorsed the proposed changes to the draft LCWIP, set out in the attached LCWIP Changes Summary Report.

REASON FOR DECISION:The LCWIP is a daughter document to Hertfordshire’s Local Transport Plan. Its adoption will guide and accelerate future investment in transport infrastructure that enables and encourages people to make more trips by active travel (walking, cycling, mobility scooter, and other legal low-speed mobility modes). This will help NHDC, HCC and the government deliver on their strategies for sustainable transport, public health and climate change; more specifically, to increase the modal share for active travel, and thereby to reduce air pollution and carbon emissions from motor vehicles.
