Improved cycling facilities

Council meeting 2 December 2008

The conservatives tried to rescind the improvements to the Newcastle Development Control Plan with regard to cycling facilities.

RESOLVED: (COUNCILLORS A BUMAN/B LUKE)
The decision of the Strategic Policy Committee on 11 November 2008 in respect of Item
No. 17 - Amendment to Newcastle DCP 2005 - Draft Element 4.1 Parking and Access, be rescinded.


However, I agreed to defer the matter pending a briefing.

RESOLVED: (COUNCILLORS M OSBORNE/A BUMAN)
The matter be deferred and a full report be supplied on the implications of the motion as presented by Councillor Osborne at the meeting of 11 November 2008 including a briefing by Council Officers and the Newcastle Cycleways Movement.
