To receive a report of the Chief Executive regarding the County Council’s preparations for Brexit.

Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive regarding the County Council’s preparations for Brexit.

The report was set out to Cabinet and it was explained that the situation continued to evolve at a national level and that the risk of the UK leaving the European Union without an exit deal remained.

Members commended the contingency and planning work that had been done in the context of the uncertainty. Particular concerns around traffic and access to the port of Portsmouth were raised and it was noted that the work being undertaken on the A31 would have wider benefits for traffic management regardless of Brexit.

The recommendations in the report were considered and agreed. The decision record is attached to these minutes.
