The Cabinet Member considered a report which outlined a response to a petition submitted to the Council by Councillor Anne Reid and signed by 30 residents of HuntsmanWalk and surrounding area. The petition requests that the Council resurface the footway on Huntsman Walk, Westfield.

Officers outlined the report, in particular that the annual condition survey in 2012 had graded the section of footway between Tedder Road and Foxwood Lane as 3 (poor) it ranked 96^th in the footway network listings. The ranking was insufficient to be included into the 2012/13 programme. The remainder of the footway was graded either a 1 or 2.

The Cabinet Member advised that he noted the petition and concerns of residents but unfortunately he was not able to deviate from the approved process to prioritise Huntsman Walk.

ii.    Approved Option 1 to rank the footway along with other grade 3 roads for inclusion in a future scheme programme in accordance with the approved process.
