Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Transport and Infrastructure presented a report seeking approval to proceed with the investment of £10 million for highway maintenance for the period 2020/21 to 2022/23.

 

The Cabinet Member reported should this investment not go ahead, there is a risk that some highways will approach functional failure, requiring more expensive localised reactive maintenance repairs.

Cabinet agrees to:

Proceed with the investment of the £10 million made available by Council for highway maintenance for the period 2020/21 to 2022/23 in line with the recommendations set out in this report. (Appendix 1).

 

Reasons for the decision:

 

Provision for structural maintenance works has been made available in the Council’s capital programme and includes funding from Department for Transport. Regular monitoring will be undertaken to ensure that the funds are not over committed and progress will be reported as part of the quarterly monitoring reports to Cabinet.

 

Other option considered and rejected:

 

To reject the recommendations.
