Reasons

The Area Highways Manager needs the authorisation of the Joint Committee in order to implement work on the 2021/22 programme.

The Area Highways Manager (AHM) presented his report which was to make recommendations about the allocation of budget for 2021/22. He opened the item by stating that the report and recommendations had been discussed at length, at an informal meeting where members had been able to give their input into the proposals. He was happy therefore to move forward on the basis that everyone in attendance had read the report and was happy with the content.

He invited questions from the Committee to offer clarification on any aspect of the report but no questions were put.

The Chairman confirmed with the AHM that he now had everything he needed to progress the works as presented in the report.

No further questions or comments were put by the Committee in this item.
