Purpose:

Purpose of Report: To consider the results of public consultation and to formally adopt the low emission strategy.
Members are asked to approve the report.

Decision:

RESOLVED: That Cabinet

i) Approves option (a) and accepts the findings of the Low Emission Strategy (LES) consultation (detailed in paragraphs 19-25 of the report) and the resulting amendments to the consultation draft LES.

ii) Formally adopts the amended LES circulated with the report as York’s first Low Emission Strategy.

REASON: This option will ensure York retains its reputation as a pioneer in the adoption of an overarching low emission strategy and stays in a good position to attract low emission vehicles, technologies and associated jobs ahead of other local authorities. It will allow work to commence on the development of a new low emission based Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP3) for the city and ensure low emission measures start to be delivered as soon as possible to improve air quality, protect public health and help meet CO₂ reduction targets.
