MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole

1. Page 25 Overarching Strategic Direction Bullet point 5 (amend as follows) Support an efficient and effective transport system, promoting modal shift to public transport, walking and cycling, encouraging permeability and taking account of national and, regional policy and guidance and public consultation. 

REPORT:

The motion is proposing to amend the current recommendation wording to read:

 ‘Support an efficient and effective transport system, promoting modal shift to public transport, walking and cycling, encouraging permeability and taking account of national and, regional policy and guidance and public consultation.

The delivery of all major strategic infrastructure is delivered through the relevant body with responsibility for delivery of the particular piece of infrastructure. There is a statutory public consultation process required for all of these projects regardless of the delivery authority and implemented by the relevant delivery authority. Having regard to the fact that in some instances public consultation will be undertaken by bodies other than the local authority a further amendment to the wording would be appropriate.

Recommendation:   

It is recommended that the motion be adopted with the following amendment;

‘Support an efficient and effective transport system, promoting modal shift to public transport, walking and cycling, encouraging permeability and taking account of national and regional policy and guidance and recognising the relevant statutory public consultation process’.
