To seek authorisation from the Executive
Member for Highways and Transportation to submit an Active Travel
Fund 4 bid to Active Travel England. The indicative allocation is
£1,081.443, of which the Council can bid up to 300% of this
amount.
Approval given for a bid application to be
submitted from the Active Travel Fund and in the event that the
application is successful, delegate authority to the Corporate
Director - Strategic Resources to accept the grant, subject to an
acceptable Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and terms and
conditions being received.
Not open to call in as Urgency procedure applied.
The bid includes three strong schemes that
will provide compliant walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure
that can gain approval for construction before 31 March
2024.
Sifting has shown that there are a limited
number of schemes that meet the bid criteria and can commit to
construct within the timeframes of the bid (31 March 2024). The
wider longlist of schemes not taken forward in this bid will form a
pipeline of future schemes that can be prioritised and taken
forward for any other future funding opportunities
