Notice of Motion

This Council notes that:

 

1)  As Elected Members we have responsibility for our City and that includes creating sustainable communities, with comprehensive plans to deliver achievable network and road solutions.

 

2)  Cardiff faces substantial traffic and network gridlock unless urgent action is taken. Strategic documents refer to Cardiff’s road network being at full capacity in 2010 and over capacity ever since. This impacts on those living and working in the city, economically, socially and environmentally.

 

3)  There is a serious challenge facing Cardiff over the lack of public transport capacity as the city grows during the Local Development Plan period and beyond. An increase in public transport capacity within Cardiff is essential. This, at a minimum, needs to be in line with the growth forecasts included in the LDP and to cater for an increase in commuters arriving from neighbouring authorities.

 

This Council calls on the Cabinet

 

1)  To produce an action plan, based on accurate up to date transportation and network data to address the capacity issue in public transport so that future congestion does not bring Cardiff to a halt, to the benefit of those who use public transport and those who do not.

 

2)  To bring the plan to Full Council within 6 months.

 

Proposed by: Councillor Dianne Rees

 

Seconded by: Councillor Gavin Hill- John
