The Strategic Director, Place submitted Document “AG” which provided information on the Capital Highway Maintenance funding element of the Local Transport Plan for 2017/18 and made recommendations on the allocation for Non-Classified road resurfacing schemes and Surface Dressing sites in the Keighley constituency.

The Principal Engineer (Highway Maintenance North) provided a summary of the report.

A discussion took place about the type of bitumen used for surface dressing works which was reported as having a life span of seven to 10 years dependant on traffic usage.  It was reported that the quality of the material previously used on Devonshire Street had not met quality standards; it was guaranteed and the contractor had redone the work.

A Member asked whether drainage officers had been consulted prior to the road resurfacing works that had taken place at Keighley Road, Steeton (Hawkcliffe Corner) as the area kept flooding.  In response, it was stated that there was no dedicated capital budget available for drainage works and any drainage works had to come from the same revenue budget available for pothole filling and other repairs, which was reported annually to this Committee.  It was recognised that there was a lack of funding available for drainage works and the Council was putting a bid in for the Government’s National Productivity Investment Fund.

Resolved –

That the proposed programme of works for 2017/18 as shown in Appendices 2 and 3 of Document “AG” be approved.
