1. Summary
1.1 This report considers the traffic management programme for 2004/05 to be undertaken by Fareham Borough Council.
2. Introduction
2.1 The Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) and Traffic Investigation Programmes are considered by Fareham Borough Council Executive after consultation with County Council officers. The programmes for 2004/05 were approved in January.
3. Traffic Regulation Orders
3.1 Funding for the TRO programme in 2004/05 is £13,000. 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 Appendix 2 is a list of Traffic Regulation Orders implemented in 2003/04.
4.2 Funding is released by the County Council for specific schemes through the Hampshire Local Transport Plan (LTP) and from developer contributions.
4.3 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 in addition to the normal programme of traffic investigations.
4.4 Some schemes included on the 2003/04 list are still ongoing. The 2004/05 traffic investigation programme includes ongoing schemes from 2003/04 as set out in Appendix 3 together with new investigations as listed in Appendix 4.
