Minutes:

The Portfolio Holder for Transport and Infrastructure presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'J' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

Cabinet were requested to consider approval to advertise new restrictions for the delivery of the council’s Lansdowne Programme, and to approve the advertisement of changes to the Traffic Regulations Order (TRO) to enable the Lansdowne Programme to be implemented and to approve the general TRO process for future BCP schemes.

The Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Board addressed the Cabinet advising that at their recent meeting the Board resolved to make the following recommendation to Cabinet in respect of this item:

The Overview and Scrutiny Board recommend to Cabinet that in light of the significant changes to the proposed scheme, that Cabinet seriously consider whether the benefits of the revised scheme outweigh the negatives, particularly around implications to vehicle travel and car travel times.

The Portfolio Holder thanked the Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Board for the Boards recommendation but highlighted that pausing and doing nothing was not an option at this time, and that we needed to now move forwards and progress as per the recommendations on the paper.

Further to this the Leader advised that this paper had been considered by the Dorset LEP the previous week who had confirmed that they were content with the report.
