Meeting of Highways Advisory Committee, Tuesday, 18th October, 2011 7.30 pm (Item 47.)

The Committee is requested to consider the report relating to minor traffic and parking schemes.

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.
