Issue - meetings

This report provides an update on the 2015/16 programmes of highway improvement and maintenance works funded by this committee and sets out the programme of works for 2016/17 as agreed by the committee at the meetings of December 2015 and March 2016.

The Local Committee (Guildford) agreed to:

(i)            Note that three ITS and the Cluster Fund schemes were not completed by the end of the financial year in March. However capital funding of 137,000 has been carried forward which is expected to very nearly meet the cost of completing these projects within the current financial year.

(ii)           Note the 2016/17 programme of highway works and operations detailed at Annex 1.

(iii)          Agree to promote a traffic regulation order for the introduction of parking restrictions in the Boxgrove Lane area as shown at Annex 2.

(iv)         Agree to promote a traffic regulation order to reduce the existing 60mph speed limit on the A25 Shere Road to 40mph as shown on the plan at Annex 3. This proposal will also be subject to consultation with the police.

(v)          Agree that the 25,000 of revenue funding previously directed towards an additional jetter is now allocated towards minor maintenance works identified by the Area Highway Manager.

Reasons:

The recommendations above allow the implementation of ITS schemes included in the 2016/17 programme of highway works.
