RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 
That the Executive:
 

a)   
Noted the changes made to the final version of the
Greenway Strategic Masterplan following public
consultation;
 

b)   
Adopted the Greenway Strategic Masterplan;
and
 

c)   
Delegated authority to the Executive Member for
Sport, Leisure, Culture and Tourism, in consultation with the
Director of Public Health to take any necessary actions to progress
delivery of the Strategy.
 
 
Reasons for Recommendations: To support the Council and its
partners to prioritise future routes for the Greenway and to inform
future feasibility studies which will assist the Council to secure
developer contributions and other external funding to deliver the
programme.
 
Alternative Options Considered: The alternative option would be
to not have a Greenway Strategic Masterplan However, this is not a
recommended approach as the strategy clearly outlines what the
priority routes are for North Northamptonshire, based on
comprehensive data and evidence, will inform future feasibility
studies, which are required to secure external funding and
developer contributions to enable the expansion of the Greenway
across North Northamptonshire. It will also ensure a co-ordinated
approach to the delivery of the Greenway.
