The proposed plan for 2014/15 allocates the majority of funding towards the Toshiba / Frimley roundabout improvement scheme, which was agreed unanimously.  If this scheme did not however go ahead, a proposed alternative list was discussed.  The list would be supplementary to Highways works under Operation Horizon and included schemes recommended by engineers.  Members agreed to look at this list and discuss the agreement of the schemes at a later date.

Members also discussed the expenditure on signage in the Borough.  Traffic signs are subject to strict regulations and any change on these is subject to written permission from the Department of Transport. 

An update was also given on the Red Road.  Roundabouts may not be viable, so consultation is taking place with the Police regarding the introduction of average speed cameras.  Figures show there have been no accidents reported since May 2013 and will continue to be monitored.
