12.11.5 Local Roads

Local roads serve an important economic role and have a valuable social and community function, as they are often the sole means of access for local economic activity.  In its programme of spending over the plan period, the Council will prioritise its spending on local roads which are deficient according to the strategic benefits and improved traffic and pedestrian safety which will result. The Council will have regard to the transportation needs of development generally, particularly that associated with agribusiness, tourism and the need to promote rural development and diversification in the prioritising of its spending.
