Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place)

The Cabinet considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) that set out a detailed Capital Programme of all Highway Maintenance and Integrated Transport Schemes which were due to be carried out during 2018/2019. The report set out individual allocations and the funding sources, funded through annual government local transport funding, City Council resources and Whitefriars Right to Buy receipts and outlined in table 4 of the report, and provided specific detail of each project in Appendices 1 to 6 to the report.

The basic principles for this year's Maintenance and Integrated Transport Programme were:

1.  Continue the Programme of rectifying damage and maintaining the City's roads, through a prioritised Programme based on the Council’s Highways Asset Management plan.

2.  Continue to invest in preventative/proactive maintenance.

3.  Carry out packages of complementary schemes to support the continued growth of the City, such as road safety and traffic management schemes to compliment Public Realm and Connecting Coventry proposals.

4.  Provide a Programme of footway improvements funded from the Whitefriars Housing Group as part of a £2.3m investment which will be delivered over the next financial year.

RESOLVED that the Cabinet approves:

1)  The 2018/19 programme of schemes marked ‘A’ in table 4

2)  To delegate authority to the Cabinet Member for City Services, to approve a programme of scheme development, marked ‘B’ in table 4 of the report.
