Minutes:
The Committee received a report which informed of the Executive decision to approve the 2013-14 capital schemes programme and how Brent’s capital budget of £3.5million should be allocated through a prioritised programme.
Paul Chandler, Head of Transportation, clarified that the prioritised programme would involve major footway improvements (long section) of £1.525m (44%); footway improvements (short sections) of £150,000 (4%) and public realm improvements £125,000 being 3% of the budget provisions. In addition to the above, he recommended £1.6million to be allocated on carriageways as follows; £1.3 million (37%) to improve the condition of the unclassified network; £150k (4%) be allocated for Class B and C road improvements and a further £150k (4%) to resurface shorter sections of road throughout the Borough where there are on-going maintenance requirements identified by highway safety inspectors. Members heard that in order to improve the condition of Brent’s A Roads, Transport for London (TfL) had allocated £724.000, which was prioritised on the basis of a London-wide condition survey.
RESOLVED:
that the decision by the Executive to approve the Brent funded highways capital programme for 2013/14 of £3.5 million as set out in appendices to the report from the Head of Transportation be noted.
