The agenda for the Vale full council meeting on 19 Feb has been published. Click here to see it on the Vale website.

Mostly this meeting has to do with the budget for 2014-15. But there is some other business too.

I’ve tabled a motion intended to get the Cabinet to produce the legally required Action Plan for improving the air quaility in Botley. We have been a defined Air Quailty Management Area for many years now, and there is still not action plan, despite several assessments saying one is required. (To read more about AQMA in Botley, check out the Vale website, here. As I see this page today, the most recent doc there is from 2009. If you Google Botley Air Quailty Assessment, you can find the 2012 assessment — see it via this link. )

You may recall I’ve asked a formal question about this twice, once in July and again in October. Each time the Cabinet Member for Environmental Health promised action and didn’t deliver. So, I’ve upped the stakes.
