To consider a report of the Executive Member for Environmental & Regulatory Services.

The Executive Member for Environment and Regulatory Servicessubmitted a report which sought to update Members in more detail on what schemes were being proposed as part of the current capital programme that included: an updated list of highway capital works following a revised capital allocation via TfGM in February 2021; a breakdown of works to be progressed as part of the parks and greenspace capital allocation; and a breakdown of works to be progressed as part of the traffic and transportation TfGM allocation. It was noted that amendments to the programme outlined in the budget had been required in the light of a late change in allocation of grant funding of circa £1.2m.

The proposals in the report were broadly welcomed; and in discussion of the report’s carbon reduction implications it was noted that a range of low-carbon forms of transportation would in any event require access to the road infrastructure.

RESOLVED - That the works programmes associated with the allocation of capital funds for 2021/22 as outlined at Appendix A, B, C and D of the report be approved.
