Decision details

Purpose of Report: Petitions have been received detailing a range of footway and highway asset condition concerns. A report detailing the findings of highways officers’ investigations will be brought before the Executive Member with recommendations for further actions.

The Executive Member will be asked to consider the investigation detailed in the report and comment on its aims and approach and recommended actions.

Resolved: (i) That the petitions at Paragraph 5 be noted.

                 (ii) That it be confirmed that a highway maintenance led approach is not the appropriate policy approach to achieve the expectations of the two petitions.

                 (iii) That further work is carried out to appraise the possibilities for a wider renewal and reinvigoration scheme for both locations and a report prepared for the Executive Member for Economic Development and Community Engagement.     

Reason: To ensure that the concerns of the petitioners are addressed and council budgets are used effectively to contribute to the development of community improvements.
