Issue - meetings

Report by Executive Director of Development and Infrastructure Services. 

The Committee considered a report which outlined the roads revenue maintenance budget for the first quarter of financial year 2014/15.  It indicated an average spend of 27% at the end of this quarter.  It was noted that due to a coding error some of the figures appeared higher than expected, but that this would be amended for the next report.  Discussion took place in relation to the maintenance of footways, and in particular the footway leading to the Cemetery at Tarbert.  The Contracts Manager agreed to circulate the Capital Footways Scheme to Members directly and also address the issue of the footpath to Tarbert Cemetery with Transport Scotland.  The Contracts Manager also agreed to look in to the completion of works on the B842 Mull of Kintyre road.  

Decision

Members agreed to note the report.
