(ii)   Noted the budgetary position.

(iii)  Noted that a further Highways Update will be brought to the next meeting of this Committee.

REASONS:

The above recommendations are made to enable progression of all highway related schemes and works.

Andrew Milne introduced the report which set out the update on highway schemes within the borough.

Public comments:

·        An update on the posts for hanging baskets in Knaphill was requested. It was noted that the local member had recently met on site with officers and they would be erected shortly.  Any further update would be provided outside the meeting.

Member comments:

·        The Chairman asked for a letter to be sent on behalf of the Committee to the Cabinet Member for Highways regarding the Horizon programme and the decision to replace two high priority roads in Sheerwater (Devonshire Avenue and Dartmouth Avenue) which could not be resurfaced due to regeneration with Bentham Avenue and Bunyard Drive.  The committee resolution had not been implemented and the Committee wanted to ask the Cabinet Member to ensure that these roads were now included.

·        The local member noted that the TRO for Old Woking Road was incorrect and would raise it with officers outside the meeting.
