Recommendations from Cabinet, individual Cabinet members, and committees
At its meeting on 1 June 2020, the Climate Emergency Advisory Committee considered a public statement from Extinction Rebellion Abingdon regarding the creation and improvement of cycling infrastructure. The committee noted that Oxfordshire County Council was working on the promotion of active travel and considering traffic restriction measures and welcomed this move. The committee resolved to ask its chair to write to the county council to show support of the active travel and traffic restriction measures being developed and support these to become a permanent measure. The committee also asked Cabinet to recommend to Council that it writes to the county council to show the district council’s support for these measures.
Any recommendation of Cabinet will be reported to Council.
Minutes:
Council was advised that Cabinet, at its meeting on 10 July 2020, considered a recommendation from the Climate Emergency Advisory Committee to recommend to Council that it writes to the county council to show the district council’s support for its work on the promotion of active travel and the consideration of traffic restriction measures to improve cycling infrastructure. In light of the fact that Council would consider a motion at this meeting (Motion 5 on the agenda) calling on the Leader of the council to write to the Leader of Oxfordshire County Council on similar issues, Cabinet had not made any recommendation to Council.
