Response to KCC's Active Travel Strategy Consultation Draft
That the Committee agree to the proposed
response to the consultation set out in paragraphs 4.2.1 to 4.2.6
of the report and that it be forwarded to Kent County Council prior
to the close of the consultation period on 13 July 2016, provided
the following comments are included:
“Maidstone
Borough Council consider Kent County
Council’s Active Travel Strategy to generally be a good
document in terms of its aspirations.
However, the Council would like to see more commitment to the
actual delivery of Active Travel.
Furthermore,
Maidstone Borough Council are pleased Kent County Council
have, through its Equality Impact
Assessment, identified shortfalls in its Active Travel
Strategy. The Council strongly
recommends that implementation measures in this strategy should
actively seek to address the issues of inequality that have been
identified.”
