The Executive Member considered a report, which sought approval of the consultation strategy to be adopted for preparing York’s Third Local Transport Plan (LTP3) to cover the period from 2011 onwards.

Officers reported that the proposed LTP3 Consultation Strategy had been prepared in consultation with the Council’s Marketing and Communications team and details of the Strategy were set out in Table 2 of the report.  It was pointed out that Table 2 differed from Table 1 as it showed two consultation stages prior to the publication of the Draft LTP3, instead of the single consultation originally anticipated.

The Executive Member confirmed that the consultation process appeared adequate although he pointed out that care would be needed to avoid duplication with the Traffic Congestion Committees questionnaire.

(i)      Note the content of the report, particularly Table 1, which  outlines the proposed activities and timescales for producing LTP3 and Table 2, which outlines the proposed consultation strategy;

 (ii)     Approve the consultation strategy proposed at Table 2.
