No declarations of personal interest were made.

The Executive Board Member considered a report detailing bids which had been submitted to the Welsh Government, by the 29^th January 2016 deadline, for Transport Related Grants for the 2016-17 financial year for schemes under the following funding areas:-

- Local Transport Fund

- Road Safety (Revenue and Capital)

- Safe Routes in the Communities

The Executive Board Member was advised that the bid had been submitted to ensure the successful delivery of key economic projects, as detailed in the Council’s Local Transport Plan and Road Safety Strategy, with the submitted bids having included support for economic development and to help to facilitate the safe movement of goods and people.

RESOLVED that the bids submitted to the Welsh Government for Transport Related Grants for the 2016-17 financial year, as detailed in the report, be endorsed.

The Executive Board member considered a report on proposals to construct a road hump on the A485 at the northern entry to the village of New Inn, as a means of slowing down traffic as it entered the village. It was reported that, previously, the location had been provided with various warning signs, a Vehicle Activated Sign and been the subject of enforcement by both the Dyfed Powys Police and GoSafe  (Safety Camera Partnership) in an attempt to reduce speeding. However, despite those measures, speeding remained to be an issue and the only satisfactory measure to reduce those speeds was considered to be the installation of the road hump.

The Executive Board Member was advised that following advertising of the proposal one objection had been received, as detailed in Appendix 2 to the report together with the officer responses to the objections raised. It was recommended that the objection be noted, but that the Council proceed with the installation of the road hump to reduce the speed of traffic through New Inn.

RESOLVED that the objection received to the proposed installation of a road hump on the A485 at the northern entrance to the village of New Inn be noted, but that the Council proceed with the proposal in the interest of road safety and reducing traffic speeds

RESOLVED that the Decision Record of the meeting held on the 27^th November, 2015 be signed as a correct record.
