The Chair noted that the plans for double yellow lines in the original consultation had been removed.

 

Officers noted that the Horton Hospital had introduced ANPR recently.

 

The Chair noted the work and support of the local County Councillor for this scheme.

 

The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
