The Executive will be asked to consider proposals for the continued investment in the Highways infrastructure and the next phases of the capital programme
Received a report from the Corporate Director of Customer Services concerning proposals to accelerate the Highways Investment Programme of work to three years rather than the previously agreed four years with £2m of extra investment.
Agreed, in order to assist the Council to achieve its Community Priorities of ‘Clean’ and ‘Prosperous’, that:
(i) the Highways Investment Programme is shortened to three years with the capital allocation for 2009/10 increased to £10 million, and the allocation for 2010/11 increased to £3.5 million; and
(ii) £1million of additional investment is made in 2009/10 and a further £1million in 2010/11; found through prudential borrowing supported by reduced spend on emergency highways repairs.
The Executive expressed its pleasure with the work carried out to date.
