Further to minute 52 (24/6/10) the Director of Technical Services presented a report setting out a revised Local Transport Plan (LTP) Capital Programme for Wirral based on the announced savings to the Integrated Transport Block and the funding for bridge strengthening on the Primary Route Network. He reported that the effect of these savings on the programme had been mitigated through the value engineering of schemes and the competitive rates via the Highway and Engineering Services contract with Colas.

Resolved: That

(1)  the revised LTP Capital Programme be approved; and

(2)  the Director of Technical Services be authorized to select suitable alternative schemes within each of the LTP blocks from the relevant reserve list of schemes, in consultation with the Cabinet Member and Overview and Scrutiny Committee Spokespersons, if in the event that it should prove impractical to proceed with an approved scheme or unallocated finance becomes available.
