The Acting Area Highways Manager introduced the item stating that the 11 schemes that had been on the list to be carried out this financial year were on a schemes list for consideration when new funding was found to complete the schemes.

Members questioned how jetting work would now be carried out. The answer was that this would be funded from a central jetting funding carried out by a new contractor, Flowline. This would be monitored very carefully than with previous contractors with new software.

It was noted that the Hogback resurfacing had costed nearly £1million and that the funding for this works was likely to be reflected in the Project Horizon scheme list.
