Minutes:

Officers outlined that Buttacre Lane is an adopted highway and that inspections take place. Officers report maintenance was based on the predominance use of the road with the first part serving both residential and agricultural users with the second part of the lane being referred to as a ‘green lane’ and used mainly for agricultural vehicle access. The Council’s policy for road maintenance as outlined by Executive was discussed. It was confirmed that the capital budget for maintenance focused on prioritising roads with high amounts of traffic and importance routes.

It was noted that as the Parish Council and residents had noted that an additional Section 56 notice had been submitted and therefore it was advised that a decision on this item be deferred to allow the Councils legal department to review the new notice.
