Ongoing capital investment ensures the protection and improvements of the Council’s infrastructure in order to meet the expectations and needs of Trafford residents and businesses and ensure the Council delivers on its objectives of the core strategy and corporate priorities. The reason for which this matter is recommended as an Urgent Decision and not subject to ‘Call In’ is due to the nature of the market for specialist contractors in this area and warrants avoiding any delay in the decision’s implementation so that specialist contractors can be secured to avoid any delays in progressing the works on Trafford’s roads.

Schemes included within the programme are based on a prioritisation of potential projects in accordance with Council strategies and policies.
