(i)       in response to
Councillor Tissera’s query about how officers planned to
access hard to reach communities, to note that officers would
provide the detail from the 60 separate exercises with groups from
across the city as part of Your Place, Your Plans, Your Future to
Councillor Tissera outwith the meeting;
(ii)       to agree that the
findings of the Your Place, Your Plans, Your Future Community
Planning engagement would provide additional useful information on
the transport needs and aspirations of Aberdeen’s citizens,
including groups under-represented in previous consultations on the
Local Transport Strategy (LTS);
(iii)      to agree that planned
engagement on Aberdeen Rapid Transit (ART) provided an opportunity
to seek views on transport more widely, for the benefit of the ART
project which would depend on the policies of the wider LTS for its
success;
(iv)      to instruct the Chief
Officer - Strategic Place Planning to use the outcomes of these
exercises to inform a revised draft LTS which reflected the views
of a broader and more diverse cross-section of the public and
stakeholders, and to report this back to Committee in 2026, aligned
with the progress of the next Local Development Plan; and
(v)      to agree that the
marketing and communications strategy for ART provided an
opportunity to promote the vision and aims of the LTS more widely,
given that ART would be a key element of the next LTS and the main
messages and objectives were common to both projects.
