Decision details

To seek endorsement of the Final England's Economic Heartland (EEH) Transport Strategy.

Recommendations agreed as amended in bold and strike through and set out in full below:

(a)    To approve England’s Economic Heartland (EEH) Transport Strategy

Cabinet endorses the England’s Economic Heartland (EEH) Transport Strategy in broad terms but is concerned to note that the previous consultation response "...that there should be greater recognition in the strategy of the need for cross boundary working with surrounding sub-national transport bodies on connectivity and scheme proposals that have impacts across both areas," appears to have been ignored.

(b)  To continue our representation on the EEH Board and Strategic Transport Forum (STF) to ensure alignment with our emerging Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP).
