Issue - meetings

To consider a joint report of the Cabinet Member for Children, Family Services & Education and the Cabinet Member for Sustainable Stockport.

The Cabinet is recommended to comment on the draft strategy and approve its use as the Council Strategy for sustainable school travel promotion until 2025.
