TRAFFIC AND PARKING SCHEMES REQUEST WORK PROGRAMME

Meeting of Highways Advisory Committee, Tuesday, 14th August, 2012 7.30 pm (Item 29.)

The Committee is requested to consider the report relating to minor traffic and parking schemes - Report Attached

Minutes:

The report before the Committee detailed all Minor Traffic and Parking Scheme application requests in order for a decision to be made on whether the scheme should progress or not before resources were expended on detailed design and consultation.

The Committee would either make recommendations to the Head of StreetCare to progress the scheme or the Committee would reject the request.

The Committee considered and agreed in principle the schedule that detailed the applications received by the service.

The Committee’s decisions were noted as follows against each scheme:
