The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Neighbourhoods and Environment) on a new policy for the management of temporary roadside memorials, and permanent infrastructure on the highway.

Resolved:-

That the new policy for Highway Memorials appended to the submitted report, be adopted.

Reason for Decision:

This policy will ensure the Council is able to sensitively support those affected by the death of a loved one and ensure their wishes can be facilitated whilst still delivering on statutory duties and powers in respect of the road network.

Other Options:

The Council could decide on an alternative approach, or to prohibit any temporary roadside memorials or permanent tributes.

Note: This is an Executive Function
