RESOLVED that:
Council recognises the distinct social, environmental, health, housing and transport needs of outer London boroughs such as Barnet and their differences to those of inner London boroughs. These relate to, among other things, less developed public transport infrastructure, an older and more sparsely settled population, and links with areas beyond the borders of Greater London.
Council therefore supports the adoption of a Barnet-focused view in responding to the current consultations, particularly in support of Local Implementation Plan (LIP) funding applications, which should reflect the priorities of this borough and its residents and not those of inner London.
Council calls on the Environment Committee to ensure that we maximise LIP receipts and allocate them in line with the Barnet view.
