Decision Maker: Director of Place Management
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Additional Highways and Transport Grant
Allocation of £791,952 has been issued by the West of England
to reflect a higher government settlement for 2023/24, an increase
of 11% on original grant allocation of £6,997,000 within the
existing Highways Maintenance and Transport Improvement
Programme
This additional funding is recommended to address three additional
priority locations currently in a poor state of repair for
inclusion in the Resurfacing Programme :-
Southdown Road, Southdown, Bath £275,000
Rock Road/Ashton Way, Keynsham £175,000
High Street, Chew Magna £275,000
The balance of funding £66,962 will supplement the Patching
programme to improve roads across the network in poor condition not
currently featuring for full resurfacing.
Decision:
Approval of further £771,962 to 2023/24
Highways Maintenance Programme
Alternative options considered:
There has been significant increase in
potholes over winter 22/23 which the funding will address. Planning
for carriageway resurfacing and planned patching programmes of work
are both well advanced and this allows for further works to be
delivered in the warmer months of the year.
