The AHM highlighted the report and welcomed questions from Members.  It was noted that the Horsell 20mph scheme was listed at £32,000 but it was believed that this was also subject to additional CIL funding.  Councillors were keen that CIL money be used to benefit local communities and that this could include Highway improvements, if appropriate.
