Consideration was given to a report, which informed the Executive Member of the responses received from the consultation on the draft Framework LTP3, prior to submission of a draft Full LTP3 early in 2011.

The Executive Member reported receipt of late representations from Cllr Merrett who referred to the pre-decision call-in of this item owing to the handling of the 20mph question results and raising concerns over the survey as a whole.

The Executive Member confirmed that this was the last consultation report on the LTP3 prior to consideration of the draft of the final document, which had had a relatively low-key response from residents. He pointed out that the views expressed had been very varied although there were clear concerns about road safety, reducing congestion, improving public transport and encouraging the use of more sustainable forms of transport. In relation to the call-in he confirmed that the results of the survey on the provision of a 20mph zone covering the whole of York would be reported at the February Decision Session together with the results from the Fishergate trial 20mph zone. If either of these initiatives offered lessons, in the context of LTP3 he confirmed that they could be incorporated into the final document.

Please note that this decision was considered at the Executive (Calling In) meeting on 11 January 2011, see under mentioned link for details.
