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 £20,000 was allocated to Winchester.. The schemes in the programme were:

(i) Nations Hill, Kingsworthy - Footway Phase 2 - £10,000

This scheme has been deferred because of imminent development work at the Old General Store, which includes footway work. As a replacement scheme, an order has been placed for the first scheme in next year's programme - Trampers Lane footway.

(ii) B3035 Corhampton Road, Bishops Waltham - new traffic island - £10,000 (scheme modified at request of Parish Council). Details of this island are being discussed with the Parish Council and the work should be complete by the end of March.

3. Capital Minor Works Capital 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 and the allocation for Winchester to be £20,000. Subject to final confirmation of the budget it is anticipated that this will enable two schemes to be implemented within Winchester during this financial year.

3.2 The schemes proposed for 2004/05 are:

(i) Trampers Lane, Boarhunt - new footway; and

(ii) Cheriton - new footway from Raebarn Close to `Riverside'.

Recommendation

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