2.              that applicants engage either a ‘Streetworks Qualified’ private contractor working under a Licence Agreement, or alternatively, the applicant could engage the Council’s Direct Labour Organisation to undertake the work in the case where a quotation for the work has been requested and provided;

3.              that the current fee for constructing a vehicle crossover as part of a footway resurfacing scheme be revised, to a standard fee of £480 (for a total of up to 6 kerbs comprising 2 dropper kerbs and 4 straight drop kerbs).
