City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) Programme and Next Steps
11/11/2022 - CRSTS Programme - Funding and Next Steps
(1) To delegate approval to the Directors of Sustainable Communities and Place Management, in consultation with the S151 Officer, to accept CRSTS grant funding from the Combined Authority for schemes led by B&NES, currently the Liveable Neighbourhoods Programme and the Maintenance Challenge Fund. As capacity increases within B&NES this may also include: Somer Valley Links to Bristol and Bath; Bath City Centre Sustainable Transport Corridor; and Bath Sustainable Walking and Cycling Links.
These funds will be spent over a four-year period (22/23 - 26/27), and progress through the documented approvals process with CA and B&NES. These grant awards, along with the funding local match requirement of 20%, will be approved into the B&NES Capital Programme and revenue budget.
(2) To note that for schemes which remain led by the CA B&NES officer time will be recharged to the CA. This will be undertaken through a process of quarterly recharges.
