Councillor Fleming reported that he and the opposition spokespersons had received an extensive presentation of the information contained within the report at the briefing meeting so it was unnecessary for Greg Povey to make a full presentation.  Greg Povey, Assistant Director of Contracts, Procurement and Commercial, confirmed that there had been no material changes to the report or appendices since the briefing.  Councillor Fleming welcomed the report which represented a move towards a more structured approach of works, which were targeted where there were most needed.  Councillor Fleming was grateful to Greg Povey and all the officers involved for the work undertaken on this.

DECISIONS:

(1)       The Strategy, Vision and Methodology for Tertiary Highways Network Scheme, selection and treatment, was approved.
