Report of the Director of Environment

Item 8

Contact: Andy Peryer, tel: 02392 545417

1. Summary

1.1 This report outlines:

    (i) progress with the 2002/03 Capital Minor Works Programme; and

    (ii) details of the 2003/04 Capital Minor Works Programme.

2. Capital Minor Works Programme 2002/03

2.1 As previously reported, the Minor Works Programme (also known as the Under £10,000 Programme) is funded from the capital allocation based on the Local Transport Plan submission to the Department for Transport. In the 2002/03 programme, £300,000 was allocated county-wide of which £20,000 was allocated for Gosport. The schemes included in the programme were:

    (i) South Street/Willis Road - Pedestrian Refuge £10,000

    (ii) Marine Parade West (Pirates Cove) £10,000

      - Pedestrian Refuge

    Both schemes have been completed.

3. Capital Minor Works Programme 2003/04

3.1 The funding allocation for the 2003/04 programme county-wide is expected to be £200,000. Subject to final confirmation of the budget it is anticipated that this will enable one or two schemes to be implemented within Gosport during this financial year.

3.2 Members may recall that at the meeting on 19 November 2002 they indicated a preference of schemes for the 2003/2004 programme as:

    (i) Enhanced Lighting to cycleway Whitworth Road £10,000

      to Military Road

      (ii) Enhanced Lighting to cycleway Military Road £10,000

      to Holbrook

3.3 Following that meeting, preliminary assessments have been carried out with regard to the schemes. These indicated that it will be necessary to split the sections detailed above into two phases each, as costs have risen since the original bid a number of years ago. As such it is proposed to carry out the works between Whitworth Road and Military Road.
