As set out in the attached report.

The Deputy Leader of Council and Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Sustainable Development has been consulted on the Capability Fund proposals.

The proposed activities and projects have been scoped with input from the relevant officers within the Highway and Transportation service disciplines, but as the works programme develops, consultation on individual projects will be carried out as appropriate.

Subject to approval, individual infrastructure schemes that are identified through the network development activities will be subject to full consultation with Ward Members, Parish/Town Councils, local residents and businesses as appropriate prior to final detailed scheme being progressed. This will include any relevant statutory process, such as for Traffic Regulation Orders, where any objections received will be formally reported to the Chief Officer (Highways and Transportation).
