Agenda item

To consider how Witney Town Council should support this initiative in September 2020.

The Committee discussed how the Council could participate in car free day. It was agreed to stick to the actual date of Tuesday 22nd September as this would encourage people not to make extra journeys but to change how they travelled on the day. Members felt that it was difficult to run organised activities due to Covid-19 and a member proposed that instead the Council could run an on line promotion of car free day, encouraging people to get on their bikes or walk. There were also good resources on Twinkl which could be used to get children involved. This would need the help of the Communications and Events Officer.

RESOLVED:          to participate in Car Free Day on Tuesday 22^nd September by promoting it on social media to engage the public and encourage them to leave their cars at home.
