Decision:
David Tolley, Head of Consumer and Business Regulations Service, Safer Communities, introduced the report setting out proposals for a grant scheme to encourage use of sustainable transport in partnership with the London Boroughs of Hackney and Islington.
The Commissioners then asked attending Members to respond to the proposals in the report. Councillors Rachael Saunders indicated that she had no observations to make. Councillor Peter Golds expressed some concern that the scheme was focussed towards an area where there were already good sustainable transport links but was broadly supportive of the proposal.
The Commissioners agreed the recommendations as set out in the report and requested that the decisions taken by officers under delegated authority be specifically notified to the relevant Ward Councillor as well as being easily accessible to the public.
RESOLVED
- That the implementation of a grant scheme be approved, as outlined in Appendix 1, for promoting sustainable travel options/low emission technology for businesses in the borough.
- That the Service Head Community Service, or his delegate be authorised, to make grant awards in accordance with the scheme in Appendix 1, provided that the totality of the grants made does not exceed the available budget for such grants of £18,000.
