Voting: Unanimous

REASON:

To enable the relevant Traffic regulation Orders to be made and required public consultation exercises to be undertaken. The delegation will enable future orders to be made without requiring Cabinet report and approval in cases where no objections have been received.

The Portfolio Holder for Transport and Infrastructure presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated and which appears as Appendix 'E' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

The report sought Cabinet approval for public consultation on a number of proposed Traffic Regulation Orders and a number of Traffic Regulation Orders which have been out to public consultation. The Cabinet was also asked to agree to delegate approval in future for Traffic Regulation Orders and related Highways Orders where these had been subject to the required public consultation and no objections received.

The Leader of the Council explained that for the purposes of transparency it had been agreed that items such as this which may previously have been dealt with through individual Portfolio Holder decisions, were now being determined by the Cabinet.

Dunyeats Road
