Issue - decisions

In respect of the Future Town, Future Transport Strategy, and with particular reference to cycling in the Town Centre, the meeting was informed that there was already in place a by-law prohibiting this activity.  Members felt that any enforcement or extending of this by-law should be publicised.  Officers were asked to ensure that the Town Centre Neighbourhood Warden was made aware of the by-law, and Members felt that increased signage was necessary in the Town Centre (possibly funded through Members’ Local Community Budgets).  Officers were further requested to investigate the possibility of the introduction of a cycling education programme, in association with the Hertfordshire Constabulary.

Members were supportive of the concept of a property MoT as part of the new Domestic Gas Contract.

It was RESOLVED that the Minutes of the meeting of the Overview & Scrutiny Committee held on 15 October 2019 be noted.
