Issue - decisions

Cabinet received a report on the Lancaster Highways and Transport masterplan. It was noted that this was the final Masterplan for approval and would complete the picture across Lancashire.

The Masterplan and the proposals contained were welcomed as a positive plan for the area covered.

Resolved: That the District of Lancaster Highways and Transport Masterplan, as presented, be approved.

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.
