The Cabinet Member for Regeneration presented a report on the Council’s 2011/12 Local Implementation Plan (LIP) funding bid to Transport for London and the indicative delivery programme for 2012/13 and 2013/14.
The LIP represents the borough transport strategy and the Council has been provisionally earmarked £2.3m for each of the next three years, with the funding split into the three categories of maintenance, corridors / neighbourhoods and smarter travel. The proposed projects and initiatives include a mix of road safety, traffic management, highways maintenance, cycling and walking and travel awareness schemes and are spread over the whole borough.
The Cabinet Member also referred to the major schemes of the Barking Station Forecourt and Merry Fiddlers junction improvements and it was noted that a report on the formal three-year LIP will be presented to cabinet later this year.
Agreed, in order to support the implementation of a range of transport improvement schemes in the borough, to:
(i) The Council's 2011/12 LIP submission to Transport for London as detailed in Appendix 1 to the report; and
(ii) The indicative delivery programme for 2012/13 – 2013/14 as set out in the report.
