Tim Walker, Senior Engineer
Presentation about the councils existing car club scheme and ambitions for the next few years.
Minutes:
Tim Walker, from public realm, talked about the car club project. It was council policy that by 2014 every resident would be a 5 minute walk away from a car club car. Being a car club member was an affordable alternative to owning a car and have environmental benefits. The car club scheme was being extended and councillors would consider the allocation of additional parking spaces later in the meeting.
Zipcar were at the meeting and were offering half price membership and £30 of free driving to anyone who signed up at the meeting.
In response to questions from the floor Tim explained that petrol was included in the cost of using the vehicles.
