Highway Maintenance Programmes 2003/04 and 2004/05

Report of the Director of Environment

Item 7

Contact: Andrew Peryer, tel 02392 546417 email: [email protected]

1. Summary

1.1 This report outlines:

      (i) progress with the 2003/04 Highway Maintenance Programme;

      (ii) details of the 2004/05 Highway Maintenance Budget; and

      (iii) details of the 2004/05 Highway Maintenance Programme.

2. Background

2.1 Members may be aware 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 is 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 final total allocation for Gosport for 2003/04 is £296,000. Progress throughout the year has been in line with the overall spend profile and it is expected that the programme will be completed within time and budget constraints. A budget monitoring statement is included within Appendix 1.

      Capital Maintenance Programme

3.2 The final total allocation for 2003/04 is £768,000. The programme is nearing completion and, as with the Revenue Maintenance Programme, it is expected that it will be delivered as planned within time and budget constraints. A budget monitoring statement is included within Appendix 1.

3.3 A status report detailing progress of all special maintenance, resurfacing and surface dressing schemes is attached as Appendix 2.

4. Highway Maintenance Budget 2004/05

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 £3.5 million to help address the backlog within highway maintenance programmes.

4.2 The revenue budget allocation has generally been maintained at a similar level to 2003/04, however the district managed grass trees and shrubs budget has been significantly enhanced.

4.3 Central Government funding achieved through the Local Transport Plan (LTP) process has increased and locally resourced capital funding has also been maintained at 2003/04 levels. It should be noted that maintenance funding allocated through the LTP process is directly related to the condition of Hampshire's road network, and future levels of funding are dependent on the County Council's ability to improve the overall condition of the network. This increased allocation for planned maintenance has provided the opportunity to target funding at the more vulnerable areas of the network. In Gosport this will be targeted at footways by carrying out reconstruction and surface dressing as appropriate and some carriageway resurfacing.

4.4 A further programme to target urban footways to maintain accessibility and improve standards, reducing the potential for claims, has been included. The unclassified road network remains in a poor condition as a result of the flooding in 2000/01 and further severe damage due to clay shrinkage occurred during the dry summer in 2003, requiring a sustained, enhanced level of funding to recover.

5. Highway Maintenance Programme 2004/05

    Revenue Maintenance Programme

5.1 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 Gosport for 2004/05 is £340,000. The allocations for 2004/05 are 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) routine 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'. Therefore, the funding allocation within the borough for the 2004/05 capital maintenance programme will differ from the 2003/04 allocation.

5.5 Planned structural maintenance repairs undertaken through the capital maintenance programme include 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. Schemes which have been funded from the additional £3.5 million funding have been indicated by an asterisk*.

5.6 The capital maintenance programme also supports the centrally controlled areas of work, including major maintenance schemes and bridge maintenance.

Recommendation

That Members note the progress made on the transport capital programme schemes for 2003/04 and support the schemes approved for inclusion in the capital programme for 2004/05.
