1. Summary

1.1 This report outlines:

      (i) progress with the 2005/06 Capital Minor Works Programme; and

    (ii) details of the 2006/07 Capital Minor Works Programme.

2. Capital Minor Works Programme 2005/06

2.1 As previously reported, 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. In the 2005/06 programme, £200,000 was allocated county-wide, of which £50,000 was allocated for Fareham, Havant and Gosport. The schemes included in the programme were:

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

      build-out/refuge

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

    (iii) Grange Road - footway (developer funding) £6,000

      Total £22,000

2.2 Work to Common Barn Lane and Grange Road footway is complete whilst that on Gregson Avenue refuge will be completed very shortly.

3. Capital Minor Works Programme 2006/07

3.1 The funding allocation for the 2006/07 programme county-wide is expected to be £148,000, of which Fareham, Havant and Gosport have an allocation of £37,000. Subject to final confirmation of the budget, it is anticipated that this will enable one scheme to be implemented within Gosport during this financial year.

3.2 The attached appendix details the current schemes within the Capital Minor Works Programme. Each scheme has been subject to a set of ranking criteria based on its benefits. The highest rated schemes from the list are:

    (i) Stokes Bay road adjacent No. 2 Battery - £10,000

      Pedestrian Refuge

    (ii) Elson Road - Build Outs near School Road £10,000

    (iii) Privett Road - Provision of Pedestrian Refuge £10,000

3.3 The above three schemes appear to benefit a larger number of people and additionally Gosport Borough Council Leisure Services have requested the refuge at Stokes Bay Road in relation to its leisure provisions there. However, Members may wish to consider other schemes in the appendix also ranking with a score of 4.
