RESOLVED:

(a)       That the work of the Streetscene and Transportation Highway Network Team and the required support from the wider technical team to deliver the action plan be supported; and

(b)       That the action taken and controls put in place in response to the internal audit recommendations be supported

The Chief Officer (Streetscene and Transportation) introduced the report to provide a progress update on the Highway Structures audit report.  She provided background information and advised that the report provided an overview of the Highway Network Service, with particular focus on the management of highways structures, along with assurances regarding the recommended action taken and controls put in place following the audit.

The Highways Network Manager presented the main considerations as detailed in the report. 

Councillor Mike Peers referred to paragraph 1.13 of the report and asked for an update on the Flintshire Bridge.  He also asked for explanation of the data in paragraph 1.14 which showed one structure listed in the category ‘poor’.  The Chief Officer and Highway Network Manager responded to the points raised by Councillor Peers and explained that at the current time the maintenance of the Flintshire Bridge remained the responsibility of Flintshire County Council.

Referring to paragraph 1.14 the Chair asked if Members were informed of the condition and category of structures in their Ward.  The Chief Officer agreed that where practical to do so going forward Members would be notified of the condition of structures in their area.

The recommendations in the report were moved by Councillor David Coggins-Cogan and seconded by Councillor Roy Wakelam.
