This report recommends approval of the addition of the Department for Transport's 2022/23 grant funding allocation for Highway Maintenance to the highway block of the capital programme once confirmed. The report also recommends the proposed apportionment of the assumed level of funding, that is £20.167 million set out at Appendices 'A' and 'B'. The reference to New Starts refers to this "new" funding.
The report also requests approval of a number of detailed programmes of work relating to this funding set out at Appendices 'C' to 'H'. Any revisions required on receipt of the confirmed funding envelope be developed and presented for approval at a future date.
A carbon statement for the carriageway capital programme has been produced which shows a saving of 267 tonnes CO2e (16.8%) compared with a programme based on traditional material choices. This is detailed at Appendix 'I'.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C19 have been complied with.
