Decision details

That the Local Committee [Epsom & Ewell] agreed:

(i)       To defer a decision on whether to re-allocate £5,000 for the feasibility study for a cycle route on the London Road to the Fair Green cycle link scheme, pending further discussions on the priority of schemes to be funded this financial year.

(ii)      To authorise the Area Highway Manager, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman and affected divisional members, to re-evaluate and if necessary change the agreed capital ITS programme for the current financial year, to take account of schemes previously discussed at this meeting (20mph zone in Ewell Village, measures in Rosebank and Whitehorse Drive to improve access to St Joseph’s School) subject to further discussions as to whether this is possible without abortive costs.

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

Reasons:  To allow a re-evaluation of this year’s work programme to determine priorities in the light of new schemes being identified without the need to delay work by waiting for a future Committee decision.

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
