125/2002 The findings of the report were
noted.
126/2002 The Cabinet agreed that further feasibility work be
undertaken, to be funded from the £250,000 included in the
2002/3 local transport plan settlement. Specifically this work
should focus on: (a) developing a comprehensive review of transport
patterns and future strategy; (b) assessing in greater detail the
financial viability of a rapid transit scheme, including further
work on the cost projections and more detailed analysis of funding
opportunities. This exercise should also include a risk assessment;
(c) conducting the necessary technical and operational studies to
enable this appraisal to occur; and (d) consulting all necessary
stakeholders and partners.
127/2002 The Cabinet agreed that any decision to implement a
transit system for Medway be dependent on the outcome of these
studies and a further report be submitted to Cabinet
