Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Growth

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Portfolio Holder for Growth will be asked to approve a proposed response, on behalf of West Suffolk Council, to the consultation on the Greater Cambridge Partnership Cambridge South East Transport

Better Public Transport Project.

Decision:

RESOLVED:

That:

 

(1)     the Greater Cambridge Partnership’s Cambridge South East Transport Better Public Transport Project Public Consultation be responded to by the Portfolio Holder for Growth on behalf of West Suffolk Council; and

 

(2)     the Portfolio Holder’s response be based on section two of Report No: CAB/WS/19/049.

Reasons for the decision:

The Portfolio Holder for Growth considers it appropriate for West Suffolk to comment on the Greater Cambridge Partnership’s (GCP) Cambridge South East Better Public Transport Project (the Project), due to the potential impact on West Suffolk. West Suffolk is part of the Cambridgeshire functional economic area; Cambridgeshire’s travel to work area and Cambridgeshire’s Housing Market Area.

 

The summary provided in section two of the report is considered by the Portfolio Holder to provide a satisfactory basis for her response in respect of the Project’s potential impact on West Suffolk.

Alternative options considered:

Not to respond to the consultation; however, it is considered prudent to do so given the potential impact on West Suffolk.
