*Re-published: call-in no longer applies* HIGHWAYS CAPITAL PROGRAMME 2015/16 AND 2016/17

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Business and Environmental Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:


To agree the carry-over funding for 2015/16 and the 2016/17 Highways Capital Programme.

Reasons for the decision:


To facilitate delivery of the Highways Capital Programme.

Alternative options considered:

The County Council’s strategic approach is to prioritise highway maintenance on the County’s heavily used roads in order to halt further deterioration on this element of the network. For the lesser used, lower category roads, treatment types are applied that keep this part of the network in a safe condition. For the LTP funding allocation, this strategic approach was tested and considered still to be fit for purpose.

When setting the headline allocations in January and February 2015, alternative scenarios were tested for allocating the NYCC Match Funding and proposed Local Growth Fund in 2016/17. In line with earlier proposals for the LGF, the additional funding made available from the Council’s General Working Balance and LGF will be used to target the condition of the rural road network, which serves key growth centres across the County.
