Highway Maintenance Programmes 2003/04 and 2004/05

Report of the Director of Environment

Item 8

Contact: Derek Goodchild, tel 02380 688227

1. Summary

1.1 This report outlines:

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

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

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

2. Background

2.1 Members may 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 cleansing, 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 Eastleigh for 2003/04 was £518,000. Progress throughout the year has generally been in line with the spend profile and 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 revised allocation for 2003/04 is £940,000 as the programme has been amended. A number of the originally approved schemes had to be extended as the condition of the highway had deteriorated further since the schemes were first identified. Some schemes were no longer necessary, having been superseded by other works. Additional schemes identified by Members as local priorities were included in the programme but a predicted underspend of £94,000 was re-allocated to urgent works elsewhere in Hampshire Highways East. The revised programme is nearing completion and 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 is attached as Appendix 2.

4. 2004/05 Highway Maintenance Budget

4.1 The 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 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 County although the effects within Eastleigh Borough are limited.

4.5 Given the above mentioned clay shrinkage problems, the County Council, along with several other local highway authorities, made a bid to Government for additional funds for repair work. The County Council made a bid of £3 million, and of the £14.1 million allocated by Government, £1 million was awarded to Hampshire.

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) reactive 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.

    The total allocation for Eastleigh in 2004/05 is £569,000. A detailed breakdown of the budget allocations for 2004/05 is set out in Appendix 3.

5.2 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

5.3 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'. The total allocation for Eastleigh in 2004/05 is £1,011,400. Details of the 2004/05 allocations are set out in Appendix 3.

5.4 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.

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