At the Council meeting on 18th April, 2007, it was confirmed that the devolved highways budget would continue in 2007/08 with each Community Committee being allocated £100,000 to identify priorities for highway improvements. Members should appreciate that any over-spend on the schemes approved in 2006 will have to be met from this allocation and will be asked to agree to the Local Environment Task Group developing a list of projects, for submission to a future meeting of the Committee, which might be financed under the remaining budget.
