The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.
The Chair reflected the familiarity with the road and noted the objections regarding additional congestion if a bus lane was to be introduced.
The Chair noted concerns from Cyclox and hoped wider improvements to the Woodstock Road could be introduced in the future.
The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
RESOLVED to:
a) Approve the formalisation of the Bus Lanes on the A44 Woodstock Road between the Wolvercote & Peartree roundabouts and on the access road to Peartree Park & Ride facility, as advertised.
At this stage, Cllr Liz Leffman left the meeting and Cllr Andrew Gant resumed the Chair for the remainder of the meeting.
As per Item 1: Declarations of Interest, this decision was deferred as the scheme fell within the Chair’s division of Wolvercote and Cutteslowe. Therefore, the Leader of the Council would appoint another Cabinet Member to take the decision on behalf of the Cabinet Member for Transport Management as per the Council’s Constitution.
RESOLVED to:
Defer the item to allow for a decision by another Cabinet Member.
