Question 1: Cllr Paul Hodgkinson The issue of excessive noise on the A417/419 is a major issue. Does this council have the power to bypass the bureaucracy of DEFRA and identify additional areas where noise is a problem? Will you, as Cabinet Member, work with opposition groups to move this matter forward? Response by: Cllr Nigel Moor I share your concerns about the A429 and give you my commitment to work with you on this issue. Question 2: Cllr Paul Hodgkinson Thank you for your answer. What I really need is a detailed timetable of the proposed works on the A417 Missing Link. This scheme was announced 18 months ago. Could you please provide details of the timeline before the next cabinet meeting? Response by: Cllr Nigel Moor Highways England is due to meet with the Planning Approvals Board on 29 April 2016 to seek funding for Phases 1 and 2 of improvements to the A417 Missing Link. After this meeting, we should have a better feel for the proposed timetable of works. Question 3: Cllr Paul Hodgkinson The A417 Missing Link is a top priority for the county. Are you aware that the council’s twitter page and web-page on this issue are out of date and have not been activated for about 10 months? I believe the council’s Communications Team should be doing something better to promote awareness. Response by: Cllr Nigel Moor Adoption of the Gloucestershire Local Transport Plan will be noted by this Council. The Local Transport Plan incorporates proposals on the A417 Missing Link and, after today’s cabinet decision, will provide a fresh platform from which to inform everyone of where we are with the proposed works. - 2 - Page 3 Minutes subject to their acceptance as a correct record at the next meeting Question 4: Cllr Iain Dobie Will the Cabinet Member consider use of dual performance indicators as a means of providing more challenge, and to inspire Drug and Alcohol Services? Response by: Cllr Andrew Gravells This was discussed at Shadow Member meetings. I will speak with officers and get back to you with a response. I think it is important to be clear on your different roles as Chairman of the Health and Care Scrutiny Committee and Shadow Member for Public Health.
