Decision Notice D150057MEM

The report provided an update on progress with a range of ‘street scene’ initiatives and projects currently being implemented within the Borough.  The annex to the report showed progress in respect of the on-going Street Scene Action Plan.

Reference was made to the measures being taken to implement a programme of signage cleaning within the Borough, including signs on Borough Council owned land, street signs and those welcoming the public to the Borough.   In addition, the Borough Council would work with colleagues in Kent County Council Highways to notify and carry out cleansing of their road signs.

Finally, in response to questions raised by Members the Leader reiterated that the Borough Council remained committed to Haysden and Leybourne Lakes Country Parks and that significant activity of both these facilities would be reported to the Communities Advisory Board when appropriate. 

RECOMMENDED:  That the approach outlined in the report be endorsed and the projects and progress against a wide range of street scene related initiatives be noted.
