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. Capital Minor Works Programme 2003/04

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, £250,000 was allocated county-wide of which £25,000 was allocated to Test Valley. The schemes included in the programme were:

    (i) A3090 Winchester Road, Crampmoor £9,000

      Provision of pedestrian refuge. Following

      consultation with the Parish Council and due to

      site restrictions a reduced scheme is proposed to be

      undertaken in March 2004.

    (ii) A3057 Romsey Road, Rownhams £8,000

      New footway. Works complete.

    (iii) B3402 Weyhill Road, Andover £8,000

      New footway and kerbing.

      Works complete.

3. Capital Minor Works Programme 2004/05

3.1 The Capital Minor Works programme has historically been very popular, with demand for schemes greatly exceeding the funds available. The funding allocation for the 2004/05 programme county-wide is expected to

    be maintained at a level similar to that of 2003/04. Subject to final confirmation of the budget it is anticipated that this will enable three schemes to be implemented within Test Valley during this financial year.

3.2 From the highest priority schemes on the rolling programme the following are scheduled to be included in the firm programme, subject to the approval of the Executive Member for Environment. Each scheme has been subject to a set of ranking criteria based on its benefits. The highest rated schemes from the programme are:

    (i) C113 Romsey Road, West Wellow £10,000

      New footway.

    (ii) B420 Winchester Road, Wherwell £5,000

      Footway extension.

    (iii) C13 Charlton Road, Andover £10,000

      New footway.

              Total £25,000

3.3 The above schemes and others from the rolling programme that have been considered but not included in the 2004/05 programme are shown in the attached appendix, together with their respective priorities.

Recommendation

That the Panel be invited to comment on the suggested programme for 2004/05.
