Scrutiny of the Case for Prioritising a Bypass for Lyndhurst
A letter had been received from HCC Councillor Peter Hutcheson, Chairman of the Environment and Transportation Policy Review Committee stating that HCC is launching a scrutiny review of the case for prioritising a bypass for Lyndhurst.
The style of the review is that it should be led by evidence provided by a range of interested stakeholders. Lyndhurst Parish Council had been invited to take part by submitting their views on three key questions:-
(1) What are the current traffic problems and highways issues in Lyndhurst?
(2) What are the possible solutions to these problems?
(3) Of the range of possible solutions, would a bypass be a viable and deliverable option?
A response was requested by 12 October 2007.
RESOLVED: That a pack be made up containing all relevant documents and that Mr Charlesworth, Professor Barber and Mr Woolley arrange to hold a meeting to formalise the Parish Council reply.
Any Other Business
In the absence of any other business the Chairman thanked those present for attending and closed the meeting. |
