Agenda item

Members received a verbal update from Cllr Smith regarding the installation of cycle racks at Tower Hill and Windrush cemeteries along with correspondence concerning potential funding by Oxfordshire County Council for further ones in the town.

The Committee was in agreement that cycle racks should be installed at the two cemeteries and were advised that County Cllr Suzanne Bartington had indicated the cost of these could be covered from her Councillor Priority Fund.

The County Council funding for additional cycle racks was in response to the wider Covid-19 pandemic transport scheme and the Town Council had been asked to identify potential sites for these as soon as possible. It was suggested that the racks at the cemeteries could be funded through this project, along with cycle racks for the proposed Tower Hill Bus Shelter and a list of sites should be submitted.

RESOLVED:         that the verbal update be noted and:

1.            that cycle racks should be installed at Tower Hill and Windrush cemeteries; and that this be funded from the Covid-19 cycle rack fund if possible. If not, this should be funded from Cllr Bartington’s Councillor Priority Fund;

2.            that a list of potential cycle rack locations across the town be delegated to Cllr Smith and the Office Manager for submission to Oxfordshire County Council, and this should include the Tower Hill Bus Shelter site.
