  1. CONFIRMATION OF THE BATH AND NORTH EAST SOMERSET COUNCIL (FOOTPATH AT CHURCH STREET, WESTON, BATH) DEFINITIVE MAP AND STATEMENT MODIFICATION ORDER 2002. (Report 10).

The Committee received a report which explained that after the Bath & North East Somerset District Council (Footpath at Church Street, Weston, Bath) Definitive Map and Statement Modification Order 2002, was made and advertised, the one duly made objection to the Order was received and, despite negotiations, had not been withdrawn. The Order was therefore opposed and referred to the Committee so that it could authorise the Order to be forwarded to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs for determination.

On a motion from Councillor Herod, seconded by Councillor O'Flaherty it was RESOLVED that:

(1) The Regulatory (Access) Committee forwards the Bath & North East Somerset District Council (Footpath at Church Street, Weston, Bath) Definitive Map and Statement Modification Order 2002 to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for determination with a request that she confirms the Order as made;

and

(2) If after further consultation with Mr Burrage the objection is withdrawn within the next seven days, this will allow the Head of Transportation, Access and Waste Management to be authorised to grant the order.

  1. IDENTIFICATION OF CHAIR(PERSON) FOR NEXT MEETING (Report 11).

RESOLVED that the Liberal Democrat Group would advise of a chair(person) for the next scheduled meeting on Thursday 12th June 2003 after the local elections in May.
