Recommendation

It is recommended that the North Yorkshire Council Executive approve the acceptance of £10.8m capital and £0.5m revenue from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority through the Local Transport Grant

Considered – A report of the Corporate Director Environment in which approval was sought to accept £10.8m capital and £0.5m revenue from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority through the Local Transport Grant.

The Executive Member for Highways and Transportation introduced the report which set out capital schemes of £12.3m and revenue schemes of £600k which had been put forward for funding.  Schemes were required to meet all the priorities and be able to deliver by April 2026.

The Transport Planning Team Leader addressed concerns expressed by Executive Members in relation to the relative allocations between North Yorkshire Council and City of York Council and provided further details on how the funding had been allocated.  Whilst regular highways funding was distributed in line with the historic formula, this was a one-off funding allocation and deprivation across the whole area had been taken into account in the calculation.

Resolved (unanimously)

That the North Yorkshire Council Executive approve the acceptance of £10.8m capital and £0.5m revenue from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority through the Local Transport Grant.
