Following any feedback received at that stage, the formal public consultation would be undertaken leading to a decision by the County Council Strategic Director. It was expected that the whole process would take 3 – 4 months, and it was suggested that the timescales be coordinated as far as possible with the development work on the ground.

Further to Minute No. 24, Simon Tranter reported that the County Council Cabinet Member decision on the introduction of an 18 months experimental period for the use of bus lanes by hackney carriages was due to be taken on 26 April, 2018.
