Decision details

(1) The £1.515m works at Table 2 within Report ES14084 be included in the Council’s programme of planned highway maintenance for 2014/15.

(2) The remaining £200k of additional resources be allocated to the budget for emergency and reactive highway repairs.

Following agreement of the programme of schemes to be included within the 2014/15 planned highway maintenance programme, additional highway maintenance funding of £1m was approved in February 2014 to manage the impact of winter damage. An additional £715k for highway repairs (prioritised for bus route resurfacing) was also provided through the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) process.

From the £1m funding, £200k will be used to supplement the emergency and reactive repairs budget, and for the planned highway maintenance programme, the remaining £800k will be used for additional road resurfacing schemes and for schemes to replace those funded by the additional £715k.
