The Area Highways Manger presented the report.  The AHM also gave a verbal update on the proposed budget for 2019/20.  The proposal is that the Capital Budget will increase from approx £39,000 to approx £180,000.  However, the current revenue budget of £168,000 will be cut.  This will have implications for Committee Members and Highways in managing and maintaining roads and infrastructure.
