Decision details
DfT Local Sustainable Transport Fund 2015/6
Decision Maker: Cllr Caroline Roberts
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To accept an award of £642k in revenue funding from the DfT, LSTF to continue sustainable transport work in 2015/6
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agrees that a revenue funding award of £643k to support sustainable transport initiatives in 2015/6, made by the Department for Transport under the LSTF programme and a capital funding award of £486k to improve pedestrian and cycling links in the Bath Enterprise Area in 2015/6 should be accepted.
Reasons for the decision:
The proposal will bring £1.129 million of additional funding to the Council to assist in meeting its corporate priorities which would not otherwise be available.
Alternative options considered:
There are no other sources of Government funding available for schemes of this size and scope so no other options were considered other than not to bid at all. Not bidding would have left the Council with no opportunity to obtain additional sustainable transport funding.
