Hampshire County Council East Hampshire Highway and Transport Advisory Panel 16 March 2004 Highway Maintenance Programmes 2003/04 and 2004/05 Report of the Director of Environment |
Item 8 |
Contact: Michael Rolfe, tel: 01730 266411 email: [email protected]
1. Summary
1. This report outlines:
(i) progress with the 2003/04 Highways Maintenance Programme;
(ii) details of the 2004/05 Highway Maintenance Budget; and
(iii) details of the 2004/05 Highways Maintenance Programme.
2. Background
2.1 Members will be aware from previous Panel meetings that the highway maintenance programme is funded from both revenue and capital allocations.
2.2 The revenue maintenance programme funds minor works such as pothole repairs, routine drainage work including gully cleaning, signs and road markings, environmental maintenance of grass verges, trees and shrubs, weed control and highway emergencies. Minor bridge works and winter maintenance are also funded from revenue. Budget allocations are set at a level that ensures the safety of the highway network.
2.3 The capital maintenance programme funds planned maintenance including special maintenance, resurfacing and surface dressing and also provides for essential repairs to the structure of the highway.
3. Progress with the 2003/04 Highways Maintenance Programme
Revenue Maintenance Programme
3.1 The total allocation for East Hampshire for 2003/04 was £625,000. Progress throughout the year has generally been in line with the spend profile. It is expected that the overall programme will be completed within time and budget constraints. A budget monitoring statement is included within Appendix 1.
Capital Maintenance Programme
3.2 The total allocation for 2003/04 was £2,219,000. The programme was completed largely as intended until November, but considerable changes had to be made after that time on account of damage caused to our highways by clay shrinkage resulting from the very dry summer. Emergency works started before Christmas and will continue well into the coming financial year, at a number of locations that where the surface cracked, broke up, or simply undulated as the clay sub-soil moved. The schemes postponed will be put back into the 2004/05 programme. A budget monitoring statement is included within Appendix 1.
3.3 A status report detailing progress of all special maintenance, resurfacing and surface dressing is attached as Appendix 2.
4. 2004/05 Highway Maintenance Budget
4.1 The Highway Maintenance budget for 2004/05, approved by the Executive Member for Environment, is £51,461,000. This sum comprises £21,232,000 revenue funding and £30,229,000 funding from the Capital Programme provision. This includes an additional £3.5million to help address the backlog within highway maintenance programmes.
4.2 The revenue budget allocation for 2004/05 has been increased over 2003/04 in order to ensure levels of safety on the highway network are maintained.
4.3 The capital budget allocation has been increased compared with 2003/04, which comes on top of a substantial increase from 2002/03. Central Government funding achieved through the Local Transport Plan (LTP) process has increased and locally resourced capital funding has also been enhanced. This increased allocation for planned maintenance has provided the opportunity for continued funding of the more vulnerable areas of the network, essentially urban footways and rural unclassified roads.
4.4 Urban footways are again being targeted to maintain accessibility and improve standards in the heavily used areas, reducing the potential for claims. The rural unclassified road network was severely damaged as a result of the flooding in 2000/01 and requires a sustained, enhanced level of funding to recover. The extremely dry conditions of last summer have made this problem worse, as clay shrinkage has affected many roads in the District.
4.5 Despite this additional funding the need, based on Highway Assessment Maintenance Priorities (HAMP) intervention levels, has risen again this year. It is envisaged that this increased level of funding will halt the deterioration of the network, but needs to be sustained in order to achieve the aims of the Government to eliminate the backlog by 2010.
5. 2004/05 Highway Maintenance Programme
Revenue Maintenance Programme
5.1 As described above, the revenue maintenance programme funds three main areas of highway maintenance:
(i) reactionary minor repair works on the road and footway network;
(ii) minor traffic management improvements of signs and road markings; and
(iii) environmental aspects of highway maintenance including grass cutting, weed treatment and tree and shrub maintenance.
5.2 The total allocation for East Hampshire in 2004/05 is £653,000. A detailed breakdown of the budget allocations for 2004/05 is set out in Appendix 3.
5.3 Additional revenue budgets are held centrally for the performance elements of the County Council's term maintenance contract. The performance based work contained in the contract includes;
(i) gully emptying;
(ii) visibility splay grass cutting;
(iii) winter maintenance; and
(iv) ordinary bridge maintenance.
Capital Maintenance Programme
5.4 The funding allocation for the capital maintenance programme is based on the HAMP rating system and will reflect the agreed intervention levels. The HAMP rating intervention level directs funding to those maintenance schemes displaying a higher `maintenance need'. Details of the 2004/05 allocations are set out in Appendix 3.
5.5 Planned structural maintenance repairs undertaken through the capital maintenance programme includes surface dressing, special maintenance and resurfacing schemes. A provisional list of schemes under each of these headings for 2004/05 is attached as Appendix 4.
5.6 The capital maintenance programme also supports the centrally controlled areas of work including major maintenance schemes and bridge maintenance.
