1. Summary

1.1 This report covers the main programmes of traffic management work in the Rushmoor area in 2004/05 and 2005/06. These are the revenue funded Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) and signing and lining schemes for 2004/05. This programme will be completely funded from capital for the year 2005/06.

2. Background

2.1 Under the revised agency agreements for traffic management completed on 29 December 2004, Rushmoor Borough Council has continued to take direct responsibility for certain traffic management functions throughout the Borough area on behalf of the County Council.

2.2 As part of the agency arrangements, regular liaison meetings take place between officers of the County and Borough Councils to discuss proposed schemes and develop positive partnership arrangements.

3. Traffic Regulation Orders, Signing and Lining Schemes

3.1 Traffic management issues are raised in a number of ways, usually by local Borough Members, County Members or the public and, occasionally, by the Police or other emergency services. Schemes that have been progressed as part of the 2004/05 programme in the Rushmoor 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.

3.2 Schemes for the 2005/06 programme in the Rushmoor 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. Overall funding levels will continue to support an extensive county-wide programme of schemes with scope for top-up funding on a priority basis to individual Traffic Management Agencies over and above the annual allocation.
