Update on Highway Maintenance and Minor Works Programme

Report of the Director of Environment

Item 6

Contact: Andrew Peryer, tel 02392 545417 email: [email protected]

1. Summary

1.1 This report outlines:

(i) an update on the 2005/06 Highway Maintenance budget;

(ii) progress with the 2005/06 Highway Maintenance Programme; and

(iii) progress with the 2005/06 Minor Works Schemes.

2. Background

2.1 As previously reported, 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 allocations. Budgets are set at a level that ensures the safety and serviceability 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, eg hot patching.

3. Highway Maintenance Budget 2005/06

3.1 The Highway Maintenance budget for 2005/06, approved by the former Executive Member for Environment, is £49,418,000. This sum comprises £22,090,000 revenue funding and £27,328,000 funding from the capital programme provision.

3.2 This allocation includes an additional funding of £3,678,000 for capital maintenance which has been allocated across the county, the emphasis being on minor rural carriageway and urban footways. The additional schemes this will fund are identified separately in the proposed programmes.

3.3 This year Hampshire has received a significantly reduced Central Government grant through the Local Transport Plan (LTP) process. Although locally resourced capital funding has been maintained at 2004/05 levels, the effect of this and other limitations on the budget this year is a reduced figure for highway maintenance and hence a more limited programme of highway maintenance works.

4. Progress with the 2005/06 Highway Maintenance Programme

Revenue Maintenance Programme

4.1 The initial total allocation for Gosport for 2005/06 was £374,000. Additional funding has increased this to £392,000. Progress throughout the year has been in line with the spend profile and it is expected that the programme will be completed within time and budget constraints. A budget monitoring statement is included within Appendix 1.

Capital Maintenance Programme

4.2 The total allocation for Gosport in 2005/06 is £763,740 which includes £162,586 from the £3,678,000 county-wide additional funding to improve highway maintenance. The funding allocation for the capital maintenance `planned works' programme is based on the proven Highways Assessment of Maintenance Priorities (HAMP) rating system and has reflected the agreed intervention levels. The HAMP rating intervention level directs funding to those maintenance schemes displaying a higher maintenance need. A budget monitoring statement is included within Appendix 1.

4.3 A status report detailing progress of all special maintenance and resurfacing schemes is attached as Appendix 2. The surface dressing programme, which is funded centrally, is detailed in Appendix 3.

5. Capital Minor Works Programme 2005/06

5.1 The 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. For the 2005/06 programme £200,000 was allocated county-wide of which £50,000 was allocated to Fareham, Gosport and Havant combined.

5.2 The two schemes within the Capital Minor Works Programme for this year were determined at the start of the financial year, these being:

(i) Gregson Avenue - Uncontrolled crossing facilities, £10,000

build-outs/refuge

(ii) Common Barn Lane - Lighting £6,000

Total £16,000

5.3 Common Barn Lane lighting is being carried out by Hampshire Street Lighting with a start on site programmed for January 2006. Gregson Avenue is being progressed by Hampshire Highways Gosport. Initial proposals are being drafted for implementation during this financial year. This will enable consultations on proposals to be undertaken where required.

5.4 A third scheme was also identified at the previous meeting of this Panel for a footway at the south end of Grange Road. Funding has been secured and it will be implemented this financial year

6. Impact Assessments
