1. Summary

1.1 This report covers the main programmes of traffic management work in the East Hampshire area in 2004/05 and 2005/06. These are the revenue funded Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) and signing and lining schemes, and also the capital funded rural traffic calming schemes promoted in partnership with the Parish Councils.

2. Traffic Regulation Orders and Signing and Lining Schemes

2.1 Traffic Management issues are raised in a number of ways, usually by Parish Councils, Local Borough or County Members, or the public. The Police also raise issues of concerns relating to congestion, parking or potential safety hazards. Schemes that have been progressed as part of the 2004/05 programme in the East Hampshire area are shown in Appendix 1. Schemes included in the list are, at this stage of the year, either operational or expected to be completed by the end of the financial year.

2.2 Schemes for the 2005/06 programme in the East Hampshire area are listed in Appendix 2. The programme is provisional at this stage, with scope to include additional schemes that may arise as a high priority. Schemes already in the programme are often subject to delay, modification or deletion as consultations progress, or where the TRO advertising procedure gives rise to objections. For the first time, the 2005/06 traffic management programme will be funded from the Capital Programme and will incorporate the Parish Partnership Schemes. Overall funding levels will continue to support an extensive county-wide programme of schemes.

3. Parish Partnership Programme

3.1 Further progress has been made on those schemes already identified in the Parish Partnership Programme within the East Hampshire District area. Appendix 3 includes those schemes expected to be completed in 2004/05 and Appendix 2 now includes those schemes programmed for 2005/06.
