Part 2: Local Democracy and Devolution Functions of CCAs Section 24: Designation of Key route network roads Background
This section establishes the concept of key route network roads in CCAs and changes the consent requirements for conferring a power of direction in relation to the performance of highways and traffic functions in respect of such roads. Where such a power of direction is to be exercisable only by the mayor then, subject to the mayor consenting, it will be able to be conferred without the consent of the CCA and the constituent councils.
