(2)  The footway re-surfacing treatments and schemes at Appendices B and C to Report ES16006 are agreed in principle at this stage with the first tranche of works to be commenced subject to PDS Members looking further at remaining footways to provide views for a final decision on footway re-surfacing schemes.

(3)  The proposed schemes for future years at Appendix C to Report ES16006 be agreed subject to (2) above.

(4)  The proposed TfL funded programme of principal road maintenance works for 2016/17 be agreed as set out at Appendix D to Report ES16006, together with the bid to Transport for London for bridge strengthening and assessment at Appendix E.

(5)  Authority is delegated to the Executive Director of Environment and Community Services, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder, to implement any changes to the proposed programmes in line with service needs.

This decision provides for planned footway and carriageway works for the remainder of 2015/16 and 2016/17 with a draft programme for future years. Projects related to the Council’s annual bid to the London Bridges Engineering Group (advising Transport for London) for structural projects on bridge assessment and strengthening are also covered in the decision..

There could be value in assessing footway treatment options, using a similar approach to carriageway treatment options.. Further consideration can then be given to the footway re-surfacing schemes appended to Report ES16006. The schemes are agreed in principle at this stage and the footway programme commenced with the first tranche of works, subject to Members looking further at remaining footways either individually or collectively at an informal meeting to provide views for a final decision. Following a final decision, individual Member comments can still be considered with any changes to the proposed programmes being delegated to the Executive Director in consultation with the Portfolio Holder.
