The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.
The Chair noted the Council had been looking at ways to improve the A40 corridor for a long time, through bus lanes and active travel infrastructure. The Chair further noted that this issue was time-sensitive given the bridge strengthening works proposed were on a Network Rail bridge which needed to be handed back to them.
The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
