RESOLVED that the minutes of the previous meeting held on 6 October 2020 be agreed as a correct record subject to the following amendments.

In relation to Item 13 of the minutes, the Chairman highlighted to the Committee that the funding required for the investigation and design of the provision of waiting restrictions within the N10 CPZ was £5,000, and pointed out this was stated in the body of the report in section 5.2.2 but not within the recommendations. Members of the Committee confirmed that the amount of funding had been noted.

A correction was noted under Item 14 on page 6 of the minutes. The sentence should read, ‘Councillor Williams felt that more people would have returned the consultation during a lockdown and therefore suggested the CPZ was not favourable amongst residents.’
