The undersigned request that the published Decision on Item 57 in Cabinet of 17^th September 2026 (Update Report on Western Road Resurfacing Works and Red Route) be called in as set out in the Council Constitution Overview and Scrutiny Procedure Rules, on the following grounds:

•            13.1.2 the absence of sufficient evidence on which to base a decision. 

The reasons for use of these grounds for call-in are as follows:

• No Western Road-specific evidence supports the scheme's stated primary objective. 
• The report's summary of the consultation was partial, and no written comments including those from businesses were provided. 
• The loading provision is not tested against the council's own evidence of demand. 
• The economic effect of the scheme is to be assessed only after it is in place.

We hope this provides sufficient basis on which to call this item in for consideration at a meeting of Place Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

Best wishes
