Report ES14084

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.

It was proposed to use £200k of the £1m to supplement the emergency and reactive repairs budget.

For the planned highway maintenance programme, the remaining £800k was proposed for additional road resurfacing schemes and for schemes to replace those funded by the additional £715k.

In advance of the planned highway maintenance programmes for 2015/16 and beyond being considered at the Committee’s next meeting, the Chairman highlighted that a draft list of proposed schemes had been circulated, and he encouraged Members to provide officers with any comments on the schemes proposed.  

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to agree that:

(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; and

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