Decision details

Active Travel Fund (ATF) Tranche 2

Decision Maker: Executive Member for Environmental Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

1. That the recommendations of the project team for the transfer of ATF Tranche 2 allocations between projects, with particular regard to the A56 Corridor, be approved.

 

2. That consultation be approved on the proposed scheme design for the A56 cycle land scheme.

 

3. That a further report be brought back to the Executive Member with the results of consultation and recommended final scheme design.

Reasons for the decision:

The approval of the ATF projects recommended for progression in Tranche 2 and reallocation of funding will allow spend and projects to be delivered in accordance with DfT deadlines and criteria, and prevent funding being clawed back by the DfT for non-completion of works.

Alternative options considered:

The option is to progress the Bradfield Road area modal filter schemes, and the proposed Stamford New Road one-way and cycle track project, with the risk that funding could be clawed back by the DfT for non-completion of works. This would also impact on Trafford’s reputation for delivery and potential success in securing future funding bids for other Active Travel opportunities.
