1. Summary
1.1 This report covers the main programmes of traffic management work in the Rushmoor area in 2005/06 and 2006/07. These are the capital funded Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs), signing and lining schemes.
2. Background
2.1 Under revised highway agency arrangements, Rushmoor Borough Council retained responsibility for certain traffic management functions throughout the Borough area on behalf of the County Council. These arrangements have been in operation since 29 December 2004 and are now well established.
2.2 As part of the traffic management agency arrangements, regular liaison meetings take place between officers of the County and Borough Councils to discuss proposed schemes and develop positive partnership arrangements.
2.3 Traffic management issues are raised in a number of ways, usually by local borough or county Members or the public. Typically, issues raised relate to the speed and volume of traffic, congestion, parking problems or potential safety hazards.
3. Progress
3.1 Schemes that have been progressed as part of the 2005/06 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 proposed for the 2006/07 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. The Traffic Management programme constantly evolves during the year, with
new schemes that may arise as a high priority being added to the list as appropriate. However, this can have the effect of delaying the implementation of some programmed schemes that have a lesser justification.
4. Impact Assessments
4.1 This report provides a position statement only, therefore an impact assessment in terms of the Race Relations (Amendment) Act has not been undertaken.
