Decision details

That the Local Committee [Epsom & Ewell] agreed to

(i)      Approve formally the prioritisation of Ruxley Lane, Ardrossan Gardens, Amis Avenue, The Rise, and Rosebank, for inclusion in the Horizon Roads Major Maintenance (HRMM) programme;

(ii)     Approve formally a programme of nine ITS schemes for the 2017-18 Pooled Capital allocation as set out in paragraphs 2.21 to 2.22;

(iii)    Authorise the Area Highway Manager to make appropriate changes to budget allocations and programmes of work for next Financial Year 2017-18 when Committee’s Highways budgets for next Financial Year have been confirmed, in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and affected Members of the Local Committee;

(iv)   Authorise the Area Highway Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and relevant Divisional Member(s) to undertake all necessary procedures to deliver the agreed programmes.

Reasons:  Programmes of work for next Financial Year 2017-18 have been agreed with Committee and individual Divisional Members.  However it may be necessary to review the Local Committee’s Highways budget allocations and programmes of works when Committee’s Highways budgets for 2017-18 are confirmed.  The Highways budgets are expected to be confirmed after the Council’s overall financial situation has been clarified.

Committee is asked to provide the necessary authorisation to deliver those programmes of work in consultation with the Chairman, Vice Chairman and relevant Divisional Member without the need to revert to the Committee as a whole.
