Agenda item

To consider a call-in request of the Delegated Decision on the proposed application to stop up North Bradley Footpath One.

A report by the Scrutiny Manager (and Designated Scrutiny Officer) is attached.

A report had been circulated on the call-in procedure along with the delegated decision.  The Chairman introduced the item and explained that as he had called in the item, he now sought the Committee’s approval to withdraw the item from the agenda, having been satisfied that a meeting between the Cabinet Member and Local Member had taken place prior to the implementation of the published delegated decision.

The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, Cllr Richard Tonge, then spoke regarding the item, indicating that the reason given by the Chairman for the withdrawal of the item would not be appropriate.  Some Members then spoke in support of the Cabinet Member’s view and it was on that basis that the Chairman agreed to allow the item to stand.

A motion was then moved immediately in response to views expressed and it was,

Resolved:

1)    That the Environment Select Committee was satisfied that no further action was necessary and therefore the Cabinet Member could implement the decision immediately.

2)    To note that it was the Cabinet Member’s intention to reissue the delegated decision to reflect the full consultation that had taken place.
