Minutes:

Cllr Ali outlined the report and detail of funding to deliver local improvement measures and to support recommendations from the climate change commission.

 

The Chair invited questions from the floor:

 

·         With regards to TfL and their funding, there were uncertainties about how government funding support would affect councils. It was important to lobby government as a collective.

·         Members commended the report and agreed that settlement needs to be resolved in order to be able to deliver the schemes that were so important to the council.

·         They recognised the urban mobility work, but said that e-scooters should be considered with caution to ensure that enforcement was in place subject to careful review of trials taking place outside the borough.

·         How were the figures comparable to other London Boroughs?

·         Members supported collaborative work and acknowledged engagement with multiple stakeholders.

 

Cllr Ali addressed members’ points and reminded them of the formula used by TfL in order to assess the needs of the council. Funding figures for other boroughs were not available, but it was likely that Croydon’s would be one of the larger bids.

 

Members agreed the recommendations of the report.
