On 18 January 2018 Cabinet approved the apportionment of anticipated 2018/19 main highway and transport grant funding from the Department for Transport (DfT). Subsequently, this report requests approval of a number of detailed 2018/19 Highway Maintenance and Transport New Start Capital Programmes relating to this funding as set out at Appendices 'B' to 'K'.
The report also requests approval to add an additional £1.194 million awarded by the DfT from the Local Transport Capital Block Funding (Pothole Action Fund) to the 2017/18 Highways block of the capital programme and to approve the proposed criteria for allocating this funding in 2018/19 in line with DfT expectations.
The report also requests approval for the additional £5 million of funding awarded by Full Council on 8 February 2018 for highway maintenance to be spent on repairing potholes to address the deterioration of the road network over the winter months.
