Decision:

(a)       That the work undertaken to complete both the informal and statutory consultation processes be supported; and

 

(b)       That the validity of the process utilised to produce the Council’s updated ATNM, to be submitted to Welsh Government by 31 December 2021, be formally recognised.

Minutes:

The Chief Officer (Streetscene & Transportation) presented a report on the outcomes of both informal and statutory consultation exercises to enable required updates to the Council’s Active Travel Network Map (ATNP) as required by the Active Travel Act (Wales) 2013.

 

In presenting the report, the Chief Officer paid tribute to the team for their work in assessing and investigating Active Travel routes.  A new mapping tool called ‘Commonplace’ developed by Welsh Government (WG) had helped to increase public engagement during the pandemic and the link remained open to review maps.

 

The Chief Officer would liaise separately with Councillor Joe Johnson regarding a particular route in Holywell.

 

Councillor Glyn Banks added his thanks to the team for their work and encouraged Members to use the web link to review information prior to the final map submission to Welsh Government by 31 December.

 

The recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Joe Johnson and David Evans.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)       That the work undertaken to complete both the informal and statutory consultation processes be supported; and

 

(b)       That the validity of the process utilised to produce the Council’s updated ATNM, to be submitted to Welsh Government by 31 December 2021, be formally recognised.
