Meeting: 21/04/2010 - Scrutiny Commission (Item 60)

Questions asked by members under Standing Order 7(3) and 7(5).

Minutes:

Mr Hunt CC asked the following questions of the Chairman:

“The current target for the achievement of Workplace Travel Plans is the Local Transport Plan (LTP2) target that, “50% of all employers with more than 250 staff shall have a Travel Plan by 2011" and in September 2008 the Director reported to the Environment Scrutiny Committee that we were on track to meet this target.

Would the Chairman:-

1. Report on progress and provide a list of those employers who have delivered Travel Plans to date?

2. Tell the Commission which of these have reported progress since implementation, in terms of increased use of public transport, cycling and walking, and if there are any particularly excellent exemplars we could champion?

3. Schedule a report back to the Commission to indicate the level of success we have had by the 2011 milestone, and further monitoring and development anticipated?”

The Chairman replied as follows:

“1 Good progress has been made and by the end of March a total of 47 'major employers' in Leicestershire had adopted travel plans as follows:
