To appoint members to the Public Rights of Way Sub Committee and to note the membership of the Enhanced Partnership Board.

Consideration was given to the report which sought approval from the Highways and Transport Committee to appoint members to the Public Rights of Way Sub Committee and to set out the membership of the Enhanced Partnership Board.

It was confirmed that the Corporate Policy Committee, at its meeting on 15 June 2023, agreed to recommend to Full Council that the functions of the Public Rights of Way Sub Committee be incorporated into the functions of the Highways and Transport Committee. This matter would be considered by Full Council at its meeting on 19 July 2023. The Public Rights of Way Sub Committee scheduled for 3 July 2023 would therefore go ahead. Members queried what training would be required for the Highways and Transport Committee should Full Council approve this recommendation. Officers committed to providing a written response.

The proposed membership of the Public Rights of Way Sub Committee was noted as follows: Cllrs L Crane, A Coliey, H Faddess, R Moreton, A Harrison, K Parkinson and S Edgar.
