Hampshire County Council Winchester Highway and Transport Advisory Panel 1 March 2005 Highway Maintenance and Minor Capital Works Report of the Director of Environment |
Item 7 |
Contact: Chris Wilson ext 8544 email: [email protected]
1. Summary
1. This report outlines:
(i) progress with the 2004/05 Highway Maintenance Programme;
(ii) details of the 2005/06 Highway Maintenance Budget;
(iii) details of the 2005/06 Highway Maintenance Programme; and
(iv) progress on Minor Capital Works (Under £10,000 Schemes) and proposals for future 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 cleaning, 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.
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 2004/05 Highways Maintenance Programme
Revenue Maintenance Programme
3.1 The total allocation for Winchester for 2004/05 was £787,000. Progress throughout the year has generally been in line with the spend profile. At mid-February, 91% of the budget had been committed and the full allocation is expected to be used by the end of the year. A budget statement is included as Appendix 1.
Capital Maintenance Programme
3.2 The total allocation for Winchester for 2004/05 was £2.2 million. Good progress has been made with the programme and it is expected that it will be delivered as planned within time and budget constraints. A budget statement is included in Appendix 1 and a status report detailing progress of all special maintenance, resurfacing and surface dressing is attached as Appendix 2.
4. 2005/06 Highway Maintenance Budget
4.1 This year Hampshire has received a significantly reduced Central Government grant through the Local Transport Plan process. The effect of this, plus other limitations on the budget this year, is a reduced budget for highway maintenance and hence a more limited programme of highway maintenance works.
4.2 The overall Highway Maintenance budget for 2005/06 approved by the Executive Member for Environment is £45.2 million, comprising £21.6 million revenue funding and £23.6 million funding from the Capital Programme provision. The total allocations for Winchester Revenue and Capital funded works are not finalised at the time of writing.
5. 2005/06 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 Winchester in 2005/06 is expected to be £XX . A detailed breakdown of the budget allocations is set out in Appendix 3. (As previously notified in paragraph 4.2 the 2005/06 allocation is not finalised but will be reported at the meeting.)
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 Highway Assessment Maintenance Priorities (HAMP) rating system, which identifies locations having the greatest maintenance need. This system comprises an independent assessment of the condition of roads that have been identified as potential candidates for substantial maintenance work, such as resurfacing.
5.4 Planned structural maintenance repairs undertaken through the capital maintenance programme includes surface dressing, special maintenance and resurfacing schemes. The total allocation for Winchester is expected to be £XX and a provisional budget breakdown is given in Appendix 3. (As previously notified in paragraph 4.2 the 2005/06 allocation is not finalised but will be reported at the meeting.) A provisional list of schemes for 2005/06 is also attached in Appendix 4.
6. Capital Minor Works
Summary
6.1 This section of the report outlines:
(i) progress with the 2004/05 Capital Minor Works Programme; and
(ii) proposals for the 2005/06 Capital Minor Works Programme.
Background
6.2 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 2004/05 programme £20,000 was allocated to Winchester. The schemes in the programme were:
6.3 Progress on these schemes has been as follows:
(i) Trampers Lane, Boarhunt - design is complete and construction is awaiting programming;
(ii) Cheriton - the new footway has been completed.
Proposals for 2005/06 Programme
6.4 The Capital Minor Works rolling programme is compiled from suggestions made by elected Members, the Police, Parish Councils, Residents' Associations, members of the public and Mobility Groups, etc. A schedule of schemes under consideration for the Winchester area is given in Appendix 5. The scoring system shown evaluates schemes against the criteria set down when this initiative was instigated. From the evaluation it is recommended that Scheme B (Prospect Road, New Alresford) and Scheme E (Mislingford Road, Swanmore) be programmed for construction in 2005/6. Scheme C (Corhampton Road, Bishop's Waltham) has been left on the rolling programme, although in fact a traffic island has been installed instead, at the request of the Parish Council. Members are requested to consider whether they wish to add any other prospective schemes to the rolling programme. Should they wish to do so, outline details should be submitted to Colin Taylor (Chief Engineer, Hampshire Highways East).
Recommendations
1. That the section of this report on Highway Maintenance (sections 2 to 5) be noted.
2. That, for the Minor Capital Works programme, Members approve the construction of Schemes B and E (from Appendix 5) in 2005/06. Also that appropriate funding be allocated to these schemes and that the Executive Member for Environment be advised accordingly.
