Decision Maker: Executive Scrutiny Committee
Decision status: Recommendations approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Purpose:
Following public consultation, Cabinet is
asked to approve publication of the Highways and Transport
Masterplan for district of Lancaster, setting out the county
council's future transport planning and investment priorities, and
deliver the detailed work programme to allow the masterplan to be
implemented.
Decisions:
The Lancaster Highways and Transport Masterplan was presented for consideration.
It was noted that the response to the county council's consultation exercise on the draft Masterplan had largely endorsed the council's preferred option to improve and extend the existing transport network. This approach would see projects already programmed completed, the obligations under the development consent order for the Heysham to M6 link road fulfilled and a wider programme of sustainable transport measures and improvements delivered.
The Committee welcomed the Masterplan which presented a vision and programme of activity to deliver the objectives set out in the county council’s local transport plan and at the same time supported the growth ambitions and development expectations of key partners such as the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership and Lancaster City Council.
