To ask the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport to consider whether the Council should grant a request from Mr. Harry Turner of 12 Lime Trees, Christian Malford to apply to the magistrates’ court for an order stopping-up highway rights over a section of highway adjacent to his property and two neighbouring properties on the ground that the section concerned is unnecessary for public use or any other highway-related reason.
The section of highway concerned is shown cross-hatched in black on the plan at Appendix 1.
I approve the decision set out in the attached report.

The Cabinet Member may resolve to:
(i) Give consent to the application
(ii) Refuse to give consent to the application, in which case reasons should be given for doing so.
