Note: This is an executive function.

The meeting heard from residents and a business concerned about item 1.6, the bus stand in Waterloo Road and a lack of consultation about this, and from a resident in Westminster Bridge Road, in front of whose home the bus stand had been previously located. Officers from TfL explained that the bus stand had been moved from Westminster Bridge Road because of overlooking into residents properties and explained the scope of the consultation. Buses at the stand were not allowed to leave their engines running while waiting, if this was happening residents should report this to TfL. The meeting heard that TfL had not responded to questions by councillors regarding alternative locations. 

Councillors discussed this and the other proposals.
