Issue - meetings

Further to the meeting of the Cabinet on 5th February 2008, the Cabinet re-considered its response to the first recommendation contained within the Air Quality Scrutiny Report in relation to Low Emission Zones.

The Leader advised that whilst further information had now been received on the Low Emission Zone scheme which was being implemented in London, this was not an issue which the authority, as a District Council, could have a direct impact on and that this therefore needed to be progressed by the County Council.

RESOLVED that the relevant Portfolio Holder, in conjunction with the Chairman of the Air Quality Task Group (should the Task Group Chairman so wish), take this matter forward with the appropriate officers of the County Council and that the Portfolio Holder keep the Scrutiny Steering Board (SSB) updated, via the SSB's Recommendation Tracker Report, as to any progress regarding implementation of a Low Emission Zone Scheme in the roads/areas detailed in the original recommendation.
