Decision details
Hastings Walking and Cycling Strategy
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved (subject to call-in)
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To report the outcome of consultation on a proposed Walking and Cycling Strategy for Hastings, produced from consultation between County and Borough Councils and to consider adopting the Strategy.
Decisions:
The Strategic Planning Manager presented a report on the draft Hastings walking and cycling strategy, the comments received from a public consultation and to propose adopting the strategy.
HBC and ESCC had prepared the draft strategy which would form the basis for future provision of walking and cycling routes in Hastings and associated infrastructure and facilities. Members noted that improved facilities for cyclists and pedestrians had a number of potential benefits for the local economy, as well as helping to reduce road traffic congestion within the town.
The draft strategy had been subject to a public consultation between 6 January and 17 February 2014. 71% of the representations received either strongly agreed or agreed that they were happy with the strategy overall. Following adoption by HBC and ESCC, detailed route designs will be subject to specific consultations, as sections of the proposed routes are brought forward. The strategy would provide a supporting document to the county’s local transport plan 2011-2026, and was aligned with the Hastings planning strategy and revised proposed submission version of the development management plan.
Councillor Chowney moved approval of the recommendations of the report, which was seconded by Councillor Westley.

1) Cabinet adopts the version of the Hastings walking and cycling strategy, appended to the report.
The reason for this decision was:
To progress the adoption of the Hastings walking and cycling strategy.
