The report of the Strategic Director, Place, (Document “L”) provided information on the Capital Highway Maintenance funding element of the Local Transport Plan for 2024/25 and made recommendations on the allocation for Non-Classified road resurfacing schemes and Surface Dressing sites in the Keighley constituency.

The background information contained in the report revealed that the varying types and classifications of roads were surveyed annually using standardised survey and video equipment. The sites chosen for inclusion were those that were shown to be in the most need of repair following in-house and third-party condition analysis. That analysis was supplemented with routine site monitoring by officers. Those roads that were known to have suffered increased deterioration due to the ageing process and recent winter weather were also considered when formulating annual schemes lists.

For information purposes, Appendix 1 summarised the resurfacing schemes completed and those still outstanding from the 2023/24 approved list.

A recommended list of Non-Classified resurfacing schemes for the 2024/25 financial year was included in Appendix 2. A recommended list of Surface Dressing sites for the 2024/25 financial year was included in Appendix 3.

It was explained that the full list of Non-Classified resurfacing sites

(Appendix 2) was detailed in priority order, based on road condition. The cut off between ‘priority’ and ‘reserve’ sites coincided with a value of circa £750,000 as described in paragraph 4.1. Memberswere advised they may seek to substitute schemes from the priority list with those from the reserve list as was deemed necessary to address local highway maintenance concerns. Also, if it transpired that it was not feasible to progress any of the originally selected schemes, those would be substituted with alternatives from the reserve list.

Resolved –

That the proposed list of schemes for Non-Classified road resurfacing schemes and Surface Dressing sites in the Keighley constituency for 2024/25, as shown in appendices 2 & 3 of Document “L”, be approved.

To be actioned by: Strategic Director, Place
