The Principal Sustainable Travel Planner and Transport Officer presented the report, which provided an update on five capital projects being progressed by the council’s Transport and Parking team to support better transport infrastructure within the district.  The projects were: a verge hardening scheme in Barnhurst Path, South Oxhey; a project to maintain and improve the highway amenities at High Elms Lane; improvements and repairs to the Ebury Way cycle path and foot path; minor alterations to the adopted highway or adjacent land to safely accommodate the Beryl Bikes expansion; and investigating improvements to the path between Springwell Avenue and Eastwick Crescent in Mill End.

The Chair moved, and Councillor Lloyd seconded, the recommendations as set out in the report.  On being put to the vote these were agreed unanimously.
