Minutes:
By means of a report by the Strategic Growth Manager (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book), the Creating a Vision for the Oxford-Cambridge Arc – Consultation Response was presented to the Panel.
The Panel noted that as the consultation was aimed at members of the public, it was difficult for a Local Authority to frame a response. It was also noted that this was the first of three expected consultations and that both Councillors and residents are encouraged to submit their own responses to the consultation.
Executive Councillor Neish advised that additional comments had been added throughout the report. The simplicity of the report and the issues of green spaces and biodiversity being addressed within the consultation were both praised by Councillor Roberts.
The Panel thereupon
RESOLVED
that the Cabinet be encouraged to endorse the recommendations contained within the report.
