Chapter 2: Other Provision Combined authorities Section 63: Functions in respect of key route network roads Background
This section makes amendments to the 2009 Act by inserting a new section that establishes the concept of key route network roads in CAs and changes the consent requirements for making orders that confer a power of direction in relation to 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 CA and the constituent councils.
