The Development Director reported that following a meeting of the Great Yarmouth Transport and Infrastructure Steering Group that afternoon, Members had agreed to endorse the first 2 years of the Sustainable Transport Priorities.
The Chairman commented that there was a need to ensure that there was a significant link between the Sustainable Transport Priorities Scheme and the Town Centre Masterplan. This was confirmed by the Director of Development.
A Member asked whether the £2.89m funding in respect of the Sustainable Transport Schemes had been allocated and secured, and it was advised that this funding had been secured.
A Member stated their disappointment that there had been no inclusion of Roman Place, Great Yarmouth within the Public realm scheme.
A Member asked when the projects would commence, the Development Director advised that he would raise this matter with Norfolk County Council and it was agreed that further details would be brought back to the next Committee meeting.
A Member raised concern in relation to improvements to cycle provisions, as it was felt that the provisions already offered were not used correctly.
