The committee received a report of the Community Highways Manager which set out two policies for review by the committee – A-Board Advertising Signs Policy and Highway Improvements Policy and Procedure.
The Chairman noted that the policies had been subject to review by the Highways and Transport Task and Finish Group and would be subject to formal agreement by the Portfolio Holder for Highways, Travel and Environment. These policies and others to be agreed had been made available to committee members in advance of the meeting.
