Meeting: County Council (County Hall, Durham - Council Chamber - 05/11/2008 10:00:00 AM)
Item: A10 Notice of Motion
Councillor Martin to Move
This Council notes that the issue of unadopted highways affects many thousands of residents of County Durham and that such highways are present in the divisions of virtually all members of the Council. This Council regrets that the cost of bringing these unadopted highways to adoptable standard is very high and could not be met from public resources in the short term. This Council believes, nonetheless, that bringing unadopted highways up to adoptable standard would be of great benefit to wide sections of local communities and that to do so should be a clear policy objective for the longer term. This Council therefore commits to producing a feasibility study within 12 months aimed at implementing this policy objective over a realistic timescale commencing no later than 1 April 2011.
