Response to KCC's Active Travel Strategy
Consultation Draft
That the Committee agree to the proposed response to the consultation set out in paragraphs 4.2.1 to 4.2.6 of the report and that it be forwarded to Kent County Council prior to the close of the consultation period on 13 July 2016, provided the following comments are included:
“Maidstone Borough Council consider Kent County Council’s Active Travel Strategy to generally be a good document in terms of its aspirations. However, the Council would like to see more commitment to the actual delivery of Active Travel.
Furthermore, Maidstone Borough Council are pleased Kent County Council have, through its Equality Impact Assessment, identified shortfalls in its Active Travel Strategy. The Council strongly recommends that implementation measures in this strategy should actively seek to address the issues of inequality that have been identified.”
