What is the Portswood Project Steering Group?
The Steering Group, consisting of representatives of key stakeholders and stakeholder groups, will work together to oversee the implementation and outcome of the Bus Gate trial.
The overall purpose of the Portswood Steering Group is to:
- Provide advice to the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport on the scope and impact of the trial of the Portswood Broadway Bus Gate;
- Receive information from Council Officers on technical aspects of the trial;
- Ensure an unbiased trial of the bus gate;
- Oversee the trial and the development of any ATZ (including monitoring the ATZ co-design workshops) within the budgetary limits as stated in the Cabinet report;
- Agree on monitoring criteria and measures of success, and use them to advise on the achievement of the objectives of the scheme.
The Steering Group will prepare advice to the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport over both the Portswood Broadway bus gate trial and the ATZ development with technical inputs from Southampton City Council officers.
The Steering Group membership will include individuals who represent a wide range of local interests. Members will be expected to contribute to discussions and decision-making and strive for an impartial and collective view on the matters within the Group's remit. The Steering Group will be facilitated by a chairperson acting in an independent capacity. Ward Councillors may attend Steering Group meetings as observers.
