Officers attending: Nick Healey (Area Highway Manager (NE))

The officer introduced the report explaining it was the regular update with decisions requested on some bus stop clearway markings to prevent other vehicles parking at the bus stops and making it difficult for passengers to board and alight.  The budgets had not yet been confirmed so the officer hoped to meet with the Committee Members informally before the next formal meeting.
