The Environment Scrutiny Committee of Gloucestershire Council is scheduled to convene on Wednesday 6 May 2026. The meeting's agenda includes discussions on the Gloucestershire Road Safety Partnership, the ongoing development of the Local Transport Plan, and progress on Traffic Regulation Order Task Group recommendations.

Gloucestershire Road Safety Partnership

An update on the work of the Gloucestershire Road Safety Partnership is scheduled to be presented. This partnership aims to improve road safety across the county.

Local Transport Plan

The committee is set to receive an update on the development of Gloucestershire's Local Transport Plan (LTP). The current LTP, adopted in 2021, outlines strategic transport ambitions until 2041. The review is being undertaken to align with the national transport strategy, 'Better Connected: A strategy for integrated transport', and new guidance for developing Local Transport Plans. The draft vision for the updated LTP is A better-connected Gloucestershire where transport supports everyone's needs, our environment flourishes and growth is sustainable, with draft delivery priorities focusing on a well-connected and prosperous Gloucestershire, a green and healthy Gloucestershire, and a Gloucestershire that supports local communities. An engagement period for Issues and Opportunities is planned from mid-May for six weeks, which will include a member drop-in session, an online questionnaire, and public drop-in sessions in all districts and online. The overall programme aims for the completion and adoption of the updated LTP in early 2027.

Traffic Regulation Order Task Group Recommendations

A progress update is expected regarding the recommendations made by the Traffic Regulation Order Task Group.

Executive Director's Report: Economy, Environment & Infrastructure

The committee will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding the report from the Executive Director for Economy, Environment & Infrastructure. This report is to be taken as read, with members allocated 30 minutes for questions.

Committee Work Plan

The committee will review its work plan and consider suggestions for future meeting topics. When making suggestions, members are encouraged to consider the reasons for and expected benefits of scrutiny involvement, and to categorise items as 'Overview', 'Scrutiny', or 'Information'.
