Matter for Decision: |
Allocation of

Why the decision
had to be made (and any alternative options): |
The Cambridge Joint Area Committee has
already agreed to minor highway improvement projects for 2015/16. Rather than wait until its next meeting in

budget now so that the projects can commence.

Cambridge Joint Area Committee makes the decisions on the allocation of this
capital fund. |
