1. Summary

1.1 This report outlines:

      (i) progress with the 2003/04 Capital Minor Works Programme; and

      (ii) details of the 2004/05 Capital Minor Works Programme.

2. Background

2.1 The Capital 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 2003/04 programme £200,000 was allocated county-wide, of which £15,000 was allocated to Rushmoor. The schemes in the programme were:

      (i) B3014 Fleet Road, Farnborough, west of Howard Drive - provide new footway; and

      (ii) Sandy Lane, Farnborough - provide new cycleway.

3. Capital Minor Works Programme 2004/05

3.1 The funding allocation for the 2004/05 programme county-wide is expected to be in the region of £200,000. Subject to final confirmation of the budget it is anticipated that this will enable two schemes to be implemented within Rushmoor during this financial year.

3.2 The attached appendix details the current schemes within the Capital Minor Works Programme. All schemes have been subject to a set of ranking criteria based on the benefits of the scheme. The highest rated schemes from the list are:

      (i) Cherrywood Road, Farnborough - new footway to link local facilities and bus stops;

      (ii) The Avenue/Guildford Road, Aldershot - modify traffic island;

      (iii) Marrowbrook Lane, Farnborough - pedestrian refuges or build-outs; and

      (iv) Chapel Lane, Farnborough - widen existing footway.

    Other schemes with a rating of 5 have not been recommended as they are being considered in other programmes.

Recommendation

That Members indicate their preference for minor works schemes in 2004/05 and the Executive Member for Environment be advised accordingly.
