Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport

Minutes:

24.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.

 

DECISIONS

 

24.2     RESOLVED to (1) authorise a Council Order to be made to continue the East Sussex Permit Scheme with the amendments as required by legislation (Deregulation Act 2015); and

 

(2) note the legislation requires the Council Order to be in force by 1 October 2015.

 

Reasons

 

24.3     The current scheme has been a success, improving planning by utility companies and their execution of necessary works in our highways, leading to reduced congestion. Recent legislation requires the County Council’s current permit scheme to be amended and re-issued by a Council Order if it is to continue to operate.
