LTP3
Officers from Leicestershire County Council have been invited to update on local transport planning work in the area in order to commence the Scrutiny Commission’s review.
Minutes:
Ian Drummond, Assistant Director, Leicestershire County Council, attended to give a presentation on the LTP3. He explained that it was a transport strategy for local resilience and growth. He reported that following the positive work in Coalville and Loughborough, the County Council were now focussing on the urban area surrounding Hinckley which would include looking at the traffic restrictions on Regent Street, smart ticketing, real time information for bus services, investment in highway maintenance, co-ordination of roadworks and implementing new cycle ways and pedestrian routes.
It was reported that there was around £4-5m available for the project and that background information from 2011 onwards was available on the county council’s website.
Mr Drummond agreed to circulate his presentation to Members via the democratic Services Officer.
The Scrutiny Commission asked that Mr Drummond attends again to update, and he agreed to do so in the summer of 2014.
Councillor Taylor left at 8.30pm.
