If the decision has not been published in the List of Forthcoming Key Decisions for at least 28 clear days, the reason why it would be impracticable to delay the decision:: This decision is to be taken using the ‘general exemption provisions’ laid out in the Constitution. Any delay to this decision to spend will result in the council being unable to meet the deadlines laid out in the Grant Agreement from Government, which ultimately will mean the Leeds Clean Air Charging Zone is delayed and we will be in breach of the Ministerial Direction to deliver a CAZ in January 2020.

If exempt from Call-In, the reason why Call-In would prejudice the interests of the Council or the public:: The CAZ proposal has been fully debated/consulted on at Executive Board. Executive Board has previously approved this funding for these proposals. Any delay to this decision to spend will result in the council being unable to meet the deadlines laid out in the Grant Agreement from Government, which ultimately will mean the Leeds Clean Air Charging Zone is delayed and we will be in breach of the Ministerial Direction to deliver a CAZ in January 2020.
