Issue - meetings

(Report of the Interim Director of Urban Environment – To be introduced by the Executive Member for Environment and Conservation): To set out the Council’s planned expenditure on investing in the repair, upgrading and improvement of highway infrastructure. FAILED TO MEET DESPATCH DATE

Our Chair agreed to accept the report as urgent business. The report was late because of the need to complete necessary consultations. The report was too urgent to await the next meeting because to deliver an investment programme of the size proposed would require its approval before the start of the 2007/08 financial year.

In response to a request that the projects for 2007/08 be broken down by electoral Ward to assist consultation and monitoring, we noted that these were to be the subject of a presentation to a future meeting of the Executive Advisory Board.

RESOLVED:

1.      That approval be granted to the 2007/08 Highway Works Plan as set out in Appendices 2 and 3 to the interleaved report.

2.      That, following consultation with residents and businesses, all proposed Compulsory Parking Zone schemes be referred to the Executive for decision.

3.      That all other schemes which require consultation but where the results show lack of support also be referred back to the Executive for decision.

4.      That the progress on the 2006/7 Highways Works Plan be noted.
