“Congestion Commission” shelved
The Cabinet decision on how refends should be offered to motorists fined for driving over Lendal bridge has been “called in”.
This means that an independent scrutiny committee will decide whether the Cabinets proposals should go ahead (relying on motorists to find out themselves that the refunds are available) or whether the Council should write all who have paid fines offering a refund.
The Scrutiny Management Committee is next scheduled to meet on 8th September
NB. Labour have quietly abandoned their proposal to establish and all party “congestion commission”. The proposal was due to be discussed at a meeting taking place on 9th September. It has now been withdrawn for the agenda with no new date set for its consideration
