The Report of the Interim Director for Highways and Streetscene sought approval to accept an additional £315,000 Highway Maintenance Capital funding from the Mayoral Combined Authority for 2019/20 and approve the proposed use of this funding for Structural Maintenance schemes on the Key Route Network. The report also sought approval for a further Local Roads Programme covering the remainder of the £2.54m ‘Local (Unclassified) Roads’ allocation approved by Cabinet.

Resolved – That,

(1)  the acceptance of the additional £315,000 Key Route Network funding from the Combined Authority and its allocation to deliver the schemes set out in appendix 1 to the report, be approved;

(2)  the additional schemes set out in appendix 2 to the report, to be funded from the ‘Main (Classified) and KRN’ allocation previously approved by Cabinet in March 2019, be approved.

(3)  the programme of footway refurbishment and treatment schemes set out in appendix 3 to the report, and micro-asphalt surface treatment and patching schemes set out in appendix 4 to the report, to be funded from the remainder of the ‘Local (Unclassified) Roads’ allocation previously approved by Cabinet in March 2019, be approved.

This investment in the maintenance of the highway network enables the Council to comply with its statutory duty to maintain the highway.
