HIGHWAYS SCHEMES APPLICATIONS

The Committee is requested to consider the report relating to work in progress and applications - Report attached

 

Minutes:

The report presented Members with all new highway schemes 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 Street Care 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 en bloc.
