30 Highway Policy Overview PDF 74 KB
To give consideration to the timetable for the review of the highway maintenance policies
Minutes:
The Committee received a report highlighting that the Highways Service had a number of policies, inherited from Cheshire County Council as predecessor Highway Authority, which governed the provision of highway maintenance activities within the Authority. It would be necessary to review these policies to take account of legislative changes, best practice and technological advances to ensure all policies were robust and workable and deliver best value on behalf of the Authority, whilst embracing the requirement to provide a safe, accessible highway network. The Committee gave consideration to the proposed timetable for the review of the existing policies and agreed that it would give consideration to the following policies prior to them being submitted to the Portfolio Holder/Cabinet for approval:
