Report by Executive Director with Responsibility for Roads and Infrastructure Services

The Committee gave consideration to a report which provided an update on the progress of the Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) process, background on the current backlog of TROs and the impact of statutory Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTRO) and Traffic Notices on the progression of permanent TROs.

The Head of Roads and Infrastructure Services provided assurance to the Committee that any TROs would be brought to the attention of Area Committee Members prior to being put in place, regardless of whether any objections were received during the consultation process.

The Head of Roads and Infrastructure Services clarified that reference to car parking charges at paragraph 3.8. of the report being imposed on an all year basis referred only to car parks in Inveraray where there were existing seasonal charging procedures in place, noting that car parks currently free to use would remain so.

Decision

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Committee considered and noted the update on Traffic Regulation Order progress.
