(ii)   The draft programme of funding set out in Annex B (revenue) for the 2014/15 financial year.

(vi)To delegate authority to the Area Team Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Project Manager to approve any amendments to this programme and report these to the next available Local Committee, to ensure delivery of the programme is completed by 31 March 2015.

Reason:

The schemes indicated in Annexes A and B align with the original LSTF bids.

As this will be the final year of the project, and to avoid delays in the programme, it was agreed to delegate authority to the Area Team Manager in conjunction with the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Project Manager to approve any amendments to this programme and report these to the next available Local Committee, to ensure delivery of the programme is completed by 31 March 2015.

Paul Fishwick introduced the report which set out the draft programme of funding for 2014/15, the final designs of the Wayfinding programme and a shared route between Constitution Hill and Hill View Road. 

Member comments/responses:

·         Members raised some concerns regarding the community funds including the evaluation and monitoring of spend and councillor and officer involvement in the process.  It was agreed that the issues would be considered at the next LSTF Task Group before being reported to the next meeting of the Local Committee.

·         Member concerns with cyclist and pedestrian safety at the new roundabout by Bishop David Brown School would be discussed with Woking Borough Council and the scheme would be subject to a Road Safety Audit (Stage 3).

·         It was noted that the cycle route from Constitution Hill and using Hill View Road was a temporary solution until an off road route could be implemented to Station Approach.

As 2014/15 will be the final year of the project, and to avoid delays in the programme, it was agreed to delegate authority to the Area Team Manager in conjunction with the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Project Manager to approve any amendments to this programme and report these to the next available Local Committee, to ensure delivery of the programme is completed by 31 March 2015.
