Members are encouraged to start considering the strategy and priorities for next Financial Year, 2019-20.

(i)     Approve the capital maintenance programme detailed in Table 4 of the report to be funded from the £200,000 capital allocation for this Financial Year 2019-20.

(ii)    Approve three amendments and one addition to the Elmbridge parking review 2018-19 retrospectively, as set out in the report, allowing the relevant traffic orders to be made (subject to objections).
