The Local Committee [Epsom & Ewell] agreed:
(i)
To note the timeframes and approach for updating the
Borough’s Local Transport Strategy and for future updates to
the Committee regarding the Forward Programme;
(ii) The revised version of the Forward Programme (Annex 1) of the report, subject to the amendments discussed at the meeting.
Reasons: A confirmed timeline and process for working with the Local Committee to develop and maintain future Local Transport Strategies and Forward Programmes will ensure the Local Committee and officers are well positioned to work together.
An agreed Forward Programme will allow Members and officers to progress with a common understanding of proposed transport schemes for the borough (based upon the existing Local Transport Strategy, and ahead of decisions relating to a new Local Plan)
If agreed, the Forward Programme would be published online, giving members of the public sight of the latest proposals and progress
