Hampshire County Council Fareham Highway Management Advisory Panel 13 March 2003 Fareham Borough Council Traffic Management Programme 2003/04 Report of the Director of Planning and Transportation, Fareham Borough Council |
Item 14 |
Contact: Andy Viccars, tel: 01329 824591
1. Summary
1.1 This report considers the traffic management programme for 2003/04 to be undertaken by Fareham Borough Council.
2. Introduction
2.1 The Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) and Traffic Investigation (TI) Programmes are approved by Fareham Borough Council Executive after consultation with County Council officers. The programmes for 2003/04 were approved in January.
3. Traffic Regulation Orders
3.1 It is expected that funding will remain at £12,000 for routine TROs in 2003/04. Based on current resource levels, approximately 12 Orders can be implemented each year, one normally being the next phase of the agreed programme for introducing `No Parking on Grass Verges'. These sites are set out in Appendix 1. It is anticipated that a number of the sites can be grouped together to form a `Various Roads' Order.
4. Traffic Investigations
4.1 Funding is released by the County Council for specific schemes through the Hampshire Local Transport Plan (LTP) (year 2), and some of this has been deferred to year 3. Funding has also been released from developer contributions.
4.2 District Councils have been asked to continue providing assistance to deliver schemes from the LTP programme. These schemes have therefore been included in Fareham's programme at the expense of the normal programme of traffic investigations where funding is less certain.
4.3 Schemes included on the 2002/03 list are still ongoing. In view of the position regarding LTP funding and the ongoing nature of existing schemes, the 2003/04 traffic investigation programme includes ongoing schemes from 2002/03, as set out in Appendix 2. When these schemes have been completed, investigations and schemes will be drawn from the supplementary schedule of schemes and traffic investigations pool list shown in Appendix 3.
