    Decisions:

    The Head of Highways and Engineering referred Members to his report which provided details with the major improvement to the existing highway network on the A4119    Corridor i.e. the dualling of a 1.3km section of the A4119 Ely Valley Road from the Llantrisant Business Park to the Coed Ely Roundabouts. Members were advised of the position to date and the requirements needed to be taken forward to allow further improvements to the high way. The Head of Highways and Engineering spoke of the required planning application and the Compulsory Purchase Orders  /  side Road Orders if needed and the need for delegated authority to the Director to take forward.

     

    The Leader welcomed the report and the improvement to the highway infrastructure, commenting that the work was a key commitment in the labour manifesto.  The Leader spoke of the funding opportunities available to take forward the project and also referenced the need to look at further improvements to ensure the prevention of bottle necks on the infrastructure for further developments.

     

    The cabinet member, Enterprise, Development & Housing commented on the interest from developers since the announcement of the work on the highway infrastructure and added that such improvements would potentially be a catalyst for further developments.
