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 Havant schemes included in the programme were:

    (i) Teal Close, Hayling Island £3,000

      Provision of footway

    (ii) Royal Way, Waterlooville £2,000

      Provision of footway

    (iii) Shawford Grove, Leigh Park £3,000

      Provision of footway

    (iv) Kings Road, Emsworth £8,000

      Making-up of unmade highway

      Total £16,000

2.2 Works are now complete on all schemes. Final costs are likely to be slightly lower than the original estimated costs, as the scope of the Kings Road scheme has been reduced in line with residents' wishes.

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 or two schemes to be implemented within Havant during this financial year.

3.2 The attached appendix details the current Havant 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) Abbotstone Avenue, Leigh Park £10,000

      Provide footway links

    (ii) Barncroft Way, Leigh Park £4,000

      Provide access ramp and improve steps

    (iii) A2030 Havant Road, Bedhampton £9,000

      Improve pedestrian accessibility to bus stops
