Issue - meetings

Background:

This report provided a list of road and pavement resurfacing schemes for 2013/2014.

It was noted that the highways team compiled a list of road and pavement sites to be resurfaced on an annual basis. This list of sites was restricted by the available and allocated budget. The proposed sites for 2013/2014 were listed in Appendix A to the report.

Members were advised that at Council on 21 February 2013 it had been agreed that a further £480,000 of funding would be put forward for additional road and pavement schemes and the proposed sites were listed in Appendix B to the report.

It was noted that for all of the resurfacing works there would be prior consultation with transportation companies and emergency services. For some of the Rainham sites it would also be necessary to consult with private property owners regarding works adjacent to the private forecourts in Station Road.

Reasons:

This decision will assist with the Council’s priority of ‘Everyone benefiting from regeneration’.
