The Strategic Director of Place submitted Document “AA” which provided information on the Capital Highway Maintenance funding element of the Local Transport Plan for 2019/20 and made recommendations on the allocation for Non-Classified road resurfacing schemes and Surface Dressing sites in the Shipley constituency.

The report also provided information relating to the Department for Transport (DfT) additional highway maintenance funding 2018/19 and made recommendations on the allocation for Non-Classified road resurfacing schemes in the Shipley constituency.

The Principal Engineer (Highway Maintenance North) provided a summary of the report and recommended the approval of the proposed schemes listed in Appendices 2 and 3 of Document “AA”.

In  response to a Member’s concern that there were not many schemes proposed in the Baildon area within Appendix 2, the Principal Engineer stated that the actual and estimated spend in Baildon from 2015/16 to 2019/20 equated to £269,100 and that this was the second highest amount allocated to a ward within the Shipley constituency.  He agreed to provide Members with a breakdown by spend per ward for non-classified roads, for the financial years 2015/16 to 2019/20.  He also informed Members of additional funding from the DfT which would be used for works such as replacement white lines and snicket maintenance; this information was due to be published imminently and would also be circulated to Members.

Members were informed of the process used to survey and analyse the condition of roads against a grading criteria which, along with in-house inspections, was then used to prioritise roads for works.  Members were shown an example of the mapped grading analysis for information.

A Member commented that cones were not always put out on the road to deter parking prior to works being undertaken.  The Principal Engineer agreed to provide the Member with a contact officer to pursue this issue.

Resolved –

That the proposed list of schemes for 2019/20 as shown in Appendices 2 and 3 of Document “AA” be approved.
