6. Chairman's update - Loughborough Town Centre Pages 13-14 Transport Scheme

7. Presentation of petitions under Standing Order 36.

A petition with 90 signatures from CC D Snartt, on behalf of Dorothy Poultney will be presented. The petition requests for the introduction of parking restrictions on Bradgate Road to the eastern side of the entrance to Bradgate Park, Newtown Linford.

‘Currently there is no restriction on vehicles parking on the road at the eastern side of the entrance to Bradgate Park. Vehicles parked in this location severely restrict the view of drivers of other vehicles travelling in both directions. When vehicles are parked, the road width is reduced to such an extent that only one car can safety pass at any one time. Drivers are unable to ascertain whether the route ahead is

clear as it is impossible to see past the parked vehicles due to the bend in the road. Navigation of this stretch of highway is dangerous for drivers, people disembarking from parked vehicles and pedestrians. This is an extremely busy road accommodating through traffic from the A50 and M1 and Park visitors. Many drivers using this stretch of road are unaware of the danger created by the parked vehicles or continue at speed without regard for other road users. There have been many incidents of damaged car door mirrors or heavy braking as drivers find themselves head on with another vehicle, trying to pass on this restricted width of road. The danger and risk of collision or serious incident could be eliminated by banning parking adjacent to the park entrance. Safer parking could be allocated further along the road where yellow line restrictions are currently in place and yet where vehicles could park without causing restriction to passing motorists.

‘However, infrequent buses on these routes can create major problems with motorists facing untreated roads’

to

‘However, Cllr RJ Shepherd CC pointed out that, for some people, a bus, however infrequent, may be the only means of transport available to them. If a bus is not able to access a road because it has not been gritted, some people may be denied any form of 6

transport. Cllr Shepherd requested that sympathetic consideration be given in the gritting programme to such bus routes.

042. CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE

a) Progress of sponsorship of roundabouts

The Chairman asked Mr Turner to update Members on this item.

Mr Turner was pleased to report that the County and Borough Councils have worked together in order to resolve the planning problems surrounding the scheme.

On 16 th December 2013 an amended planning application had been accepted. The outcome of the application was that:

- It reduces the number of sites from 31 to 21, with the size of signs being reduced at particular sites

- Several sites have seen a reduction in the number of signs on a site

- Only 1 site was objected to so this site was removed from the planning application

The Chairman asked whether parish councils were able to undertake maintenance on the roundabouts if they wished.

Mr Turner confirmed that, if any parish council wished to self-maintain roundabouts, they should contact the County Council for approval.

Cllr P Lewis CC welcomed this working relationship. He confirmed that he would convey this news back to the Loughborough in Bloom Committee.

Cllr A M Kershaw CC asked which site had been withdrawn from the application. Mr Turner in response confirmed that the site was on the A607 Melton Road/ Rearsby Road.

He agreed to speak with Cllr Kershaw outside the meeting on the One Ash Island A6 site.

The Chairman introduced the new Director of Environment and Transport, Phil Crossland, and asked him to give a little of his background.

Mr Crossland apologised to Members for being late due to the heavy traffic. He went on to say that he was born in Kegworth and attended school in Loughborough. Mr Crossland had worked for several local authorities commencing with Nottinghamshire County Council and, more recently, with the Shetland Islands. He was pleased to have returned to Leicestershire and looked forward to working with Members.

Mr Turner agreed to provide details on the sites in the application with the minutes.

b) Loughborough Town Centre Transport Scheme

The Chairman introduced Mr Richard Wilson, Eurovia’s Liaison Officer.

Cllr Lewis congratulated officers on the provision of space at the exhibition for people who were against the scheme. This highlighted the transparency of the exhibition. 7

The Chairman confirmed that Cllr M J Hunt CC had tabled 3 questions prior to the meeting:-

- Is the street design being re-examined in light of the replies to the bus trial? - How many responses to the bus trial consultation were received from:- a. Individuals? b. Organisations? - What were the scores from options in each category?

Mr Crossland, in response to the questions, explained that the consultation responses were still being analysed. Reports would be made to the County Council’s Scrutiny Commission and Cabinet in March/ April.

Cllr M J Hunt was concerned that work was due to start in Swan Street in April. This gives no time for the County Council’s Cabinet to consider how the work should be designed if there is a need for a re-design.

Mr Crossland stated that the report would go to Scrutiny Commission, and the Cabinet would have a view on any possible re-design before work commenced in Swan Street.

The Chairman asked if officers could respond to Cllr M J Hunt’s questions and copy all the Members of the Forum in.

c) School Transport Plans

Members noted the update.

043. PRESENTATION OF PETITIONS UNDER STANDING ORDER 36

There were no current outstanding petitions.

044. ENERGY REDUCTION FOR STREET LIGHTING

The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport on the energy reduction for street lighting project. The report was presented by Mr Turner with a copy filed with the minutes. Mr Turner confirmed that the report had been requested at the last Forum meeting.

Mr Turner brought Members up-to-date with the implementation of part-night lighting. He pointed out areas where consultation is ongoing. Since the introduction of the scheme, £1m has been saved from the street lighting energy budget. The works completed will continue to deliver a full-year saving of £600k and achieve carbon savings of over 3000 tonnes.

Finally, Mr Turner confirmed that a review is undertaken in each area one year after the lighting is converted. To date, the police are confident that crime has not risen due to the implementation of the lighting scheme. Officers of the County Council’s Accident Investigation and Prevention Team have also indicated that the initiative has not led to an increase in accidents.

Cllr Lewis stated that, in the report, Charnwood Borough Councillors had been consulted on the planned introduction of the scheme in Loughborough. However, he was not a Charnwood Member and asked that County Council Members were copied in as well as Borough Council Members.

The Chairman asked if the police could provide statistical data to back up their claims that crime had not increased in Charnwood since the lighting scheme had been introduced. 8

Cllr Kershaw explained that he had contacted the police after a number of Quorn residents had contacted him with concerns over anti-social behaviour. The police have come back to him to say that crime figures had gone down in Quorn since the lighting scheme had been introduced.

Mr Turner confirmed that a review of the scheme is undertaken on a case by case basis when the public contact the County Council to ask for a review of the scheme in their area if there are anti-social behaviour problems.

Cllr M Smidowicz BC had concerns over the lighting in a jitty around the bus stop at Forest Road/ Longdale Road. Cllr J Hunt BC agreed to send an e-mail to Mr Turner highlighting the problem.

Cllr B Seaton BC was intrigued that there were parishes highlighted on the map with no County Council lights. The Chairman explained that, in these areas, the lights were owned by the parish council.

Mr Turner explained that areas on the map that are shown will not change to LCC lights, have been considered by officers but the decision has been made after consultation has been undertaken not to switch off the lights.

Cllr K Knaggs CC and Cllr Seaton BC asked if officers could review the lighting in Redhill Lane, Thurmaston and contact them.

Cllr E Vardy BC was very supportive of the scheme and was assured that he had heard that the scheme was monitored and reviewed after a year. He asked that consideration be given to consulting the original consultees and that the outcomes from the annual reviews be brought to the Forum.

Cllr M J Hunt was concerned with the link with the police. He would be interested to see any data provided by the police as residents do have concerns.

Mr Turner stated that Cllr Shepherd has tabled a question on the types of photocells used and whether the type would be changed in the future.

In response, Mr Turner explained that, when the scheme commenced, fixed-time photocells had been fitted to go off between midnight and 5.30am and, in the summer, between 1am and 6.30am. There are now photocells available that can self-adjust the timings. However, to fit the new type of photocells would cost £500k. There is no plan at present to replace the old type of photocells with the newer ones.

RECOMMENDATIONS

i) That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted; ii) that officers copy County Members who are not twin-hatted into consultation details on the lighting reduction scheme; iii) that officers ask the police to provide statistical data on crime figures before and after the introduction of the lighting reduction scheme; iv) that officers review the lighting around the jitty in Redhill Lane, Thurmaston and discuss with Cllrs Knaggs and Seaton; and v) that officers include the original consultees in the review process. Outcomes of the review undertaken after a year to be brought back to the Forum

045. STATUTORY UNDERTAKER REINSTATEMENTS

The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport of the duties placed on statutory undertakers in relation to reinstatement of the highway. The report was introduced by Mr Turner with a copy filed with the minutes. 9

Mr Turner confirmed that the report has been requested by Cllr J Hunt at the previous meeting. He gave Members the background behind the various pieces of legislation relating to street works with the main legislative tool being the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA).

Mr Turner highlighted the duties of the statutory undertakers contained in NRSWA amongst which is the requirement to reinstate the highway after they have carried out works as soon as possible. They are also required to reinstate their works to prescribed standards of safety and quality. These reinstatements must not deviate from the road level by either crowning or depression by more than 10 – 25mm depending on the width of the reinstatement.

Mr Turner explained that the County Council has the right to undertaken random inspection samples of each statutory undertaker’s work over the guarantee period. The number of inspections that the County Council can undertake each year is calculated from a rolling 3- year average of inspections and is agreed with individual statutory undertakers.

Around 4500-5000 reinstatement inspections are carried out for which the statutory undertakers have to pay a fee of £50.

If a reinstatement is found to be defective then the County Council has the right to request the statutory undertaker to undertake remedial work to rectify the defect.

In conclusion, Mr Turner explained that statutory undertakers have the right to undertake works in the highway. However, the work must be undertaken to the prescribed standard with the County Council having the powers to undertake sample inspections to ensure that this standard is met.

Cllr J Hunt thanked Mr Turner for the report. She was particularly concerned with work undertaken by the Gas Alliance on Forest Road and Nanpantan Road. Cllr J Hunt asked if officers could look at this site to see if the excavation complied with the prescribed standard and whether the guarantee period was still valid if remedial work needed to be carried out.

Cllr P Day BC asked if statutory undertakers are contacted when manhole covers sit lower than the surface.

In response, Mr Turner explained that there were no specific requirements in the act to cover manhole covers unless the site was dangerous. Statutory undertakers are contacted in these cases but can be slow to respond.

Mr Crossland stated that he was looking at a move to a more customer-focused view when dealing with issues such as manholes, where when the County Council is doing work, we allow the workforce to mend first time instead of waiting for statutory undertakers to react. He went on to say that, as a highway authority, the County Council would not have drafted NRSWA in the way that it had been. The piece of legislation has been watered down from what was suggested when discussions commenced in drawing up NRSWA.

Cllr C M Radford CC asked if the County Council has similar powers in dealing with developers who dig up roads.

Mr Turner confirmed that the County Council did have the same powers. In fact, developers have to apply for a license to undertake works and such works are covered by NRSWA. He also explained that the inspection fees were nationally fixed.

Cllr S Hampson CC asked whether residents should report cowboy builders in the highway to the County Council. Mr Turner confirmed to Members that problem builders in the highway should be reported to the Customer Services Centre. 10

RECOMMENDATIONS

i) That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted; and

ii) that officers inspect the works undertaken by the Gas Alliance on Forest Road and Nanpantan Road in Loughborough and discuss with Cllr J Hunt.

046. TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDERS RELATING TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS

The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport on traffic regulation orders relating to new developments. The report was introduced by Mr Wright with a copy filed with the minutes.

Mr Wright explained to Members that this report was first presented at the North West Leicestershire Highways Forum in response to a question on how TROs can be adapted to meet the acceptance of residents who cannot be consulted prior to implementation.

The question had been prompted by an issue occurring on a new development at Adam Morris Way, Coalville, when the first that some residents knew about waiting restrictions on their road was when a lining crew turned up and installed them.

The issues relating to Adam Morris Way date back to 2005 when planning permission was sought. Proposals were drawn up at that time to install waiting restrictions which were due to be implemented once the houses were built. However, the problems were caused by the long timescales involved with actually building the houses.

Officers met with residents to discuss the problem with the restrictions and agreement was reached to remove the yellow lines.

In line with the Local Transport Plan, an evidence-based approach will now be taken to ensure that the County Council does not have to fund new TROs to fix existing TROs, paid for by developers that turn out to be inappropriate once the development is complete.

The system for dealing with developer-funded TROs has now been changed to ensure that the problems encountered in Coalville should not be encountered elsewhere in the county.

27 TH MAY 2014

CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE - LOUGHBOROUGH TOWN CENTRE TRANSPORT SCHEME

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

1. The closure of Swan Street to northbound traffic is in place, with diversion routes via the new A6 relief road (Jubilee Way), and with buses diverted and using temporary facilities.

2. There was significant congestion on Baxter Gate immediately after the closure was put in place on Monday 22 nd April, as drivers still tried to get through despite closure and diversion signing. Additional temporary A-frame signs and variable message signs (VMS) were installed to advise drivers to use Jubilee Way.

3. Swan Street will be closed to all traffic in July, as the works continue to improve the shopping environment with the permanent diversion via Jubilee Way.

4. A pedestrianisation trial will commence for up to 18 months from the completion of the town centre works. We have worked with bus companies to identify new bus stopping arrangements once the works are completed – this includes new stops on Fennel Street and Lemyngton Street and upgraded stops on Browns Lane.

5. Epinal Way works are continuing to improve the Forest Way roundabout junction under temporary lane closures.

6. The pedestrianisation trial and unforeseen utilities issues have resulted in additional works arising. Additional resources are being deployed to complete the works in both the town centre and on Epinal Way before the Loughborough fair in November.

7. Details are available on the website www.leics.gov.uk/major_transport_projects

8. There is a weekly drop-in surgery between 11am and 1pm, every Wednesday at the Site Office, Barrow Street. Customer Liaison Officer Richard Wilson, 07809 513 622.

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR CHARNWOOD

27 TH MAY 2014

MEDIUM TERM FINANCIAL STRATEGY – IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Background

1. The County Council announced a five year savings requirement of £110m. £23m of these were to be delivered in 2013/14. So for the current Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) period – covering 2014/15 to 2017/18 – further savings of £87m are required.

2. Of this £87m, £18.5m has currently been allocated to the Environment and transport Department of which £11.8m relates to Highways and Transportation Services. How these savings are planned to be delivered is outlined below. However, updated financial projections suggest that further savings corporately of around £40m will be required by March 2019. Inevitably this will mean additional savings will need to be found within Highways and Transportation services on top of those identified in this report, and work is now underway looking at what options are available.

Details of Planned Savings – Efficiencies

E1 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Contract renewal (bus and taxi services) 800 800 800 800

Description Significant savings have been realised in recent years through the re-commissioning of current bus and taxi service contracts through the Sustainable Travel Group’s business support function. Much of this saving has already been delivered through contracts re- negotiated in 2013/14 where inflation pressures have been absorbed, and the full-year overall contract costs will be below existing budget provision. Update on Progress: On track

16

E2 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Fleet review 300 600 600 600

Description These savings arise from the introduction of improved working practices, and better decision making around whether to repair or replace vehicles, to bring the workshops up to a position where a tendering exercise last year demonstrated that continuing with an in-house maintenance service is the most cost-effective option. Update on Progress: Already delivered

E3 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Review of terms and conditions 55 75 75 75

Description This is the impact on Highways and Transport services of the corporately led review of staff terms and conditions. The main implications of the review were incorporated into the 2013/14 budget. Update on Progress: Already delivered

E4 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Notice Processing Unit service review 30 80 80 80

Description The Notice Processing Unit handles the Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued by enforcement officers for on and off street parking. A service review has identified a revised staffing structure and new procedures leading to a reduction in costs of operation. Update on Progress: Already delivered

17

E5 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Revised approach to highways maintenance 850 1,575 1,900 2,125

Description These savings span across efficiency and service reduction and will be delivered through a range of actions and initiatives. Efficiency elements include better packaging of planned works such as road marking and gully emptying and more effective use and rationalisation of depots. Savings will also arise from redirecting patching works under the Highways Works Alliance to LHO. Staffing structures are also being reviewed to maximise the efficiency of the end-to-end process of scheme delivery through the design phase to delivery on the ground. Update on Progress: The first year’s element of this saving is being delivered partly from the work that has been undertaken to review and rationalise the use of depots for highways, transportation and corporate facilities management services, and partly from no longer using Tarmac for delivering around 50% of our patching work. The end of the Tarmac arrangement (the Highways Works Alliance) from October 2014 will also allow us to deliver some of the savings in 2015/16. Further work around service reviews and revised staffing structures will deliver the remaining elements.

Details of Planned Savings – Service Reductions

SR1 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Street lighting – dimming, part-night lighting, switch 245 495 745 1,245 off, LED conversion

Description The remaining expected benefit of the existing on-going programme delivers the £245,000 saving in 2014/15. Further savings are predicated through consideration of a number of options including a potentially more radical approach to switch-off, balanced by increased investment in road markings to mitigate visually against the reduced level of lighting. Also, further potential for dimming and part-night lighting will be considered, alongside consideration of switching to LED illumination and a central management system to enable better monitoring of lamp performance and simplified maintenance. Update on Progress: A project has been established in the Department to consider, assess and take forward the various options (and combination of options) that are available to deliver this saving. Modelling around the impact of LED conversion has been completed. This needs further work but will be fed into the overall considerations.

SR2 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Reductions to traffic management/safety/sign 100 100 100 100 maintenance and cleaning

Description A range of reductions to various highways related activities. Update on Progress: On track. Will monitor impact carefully over this year.

18

SR3 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Revised approach to highways maintenance 380 1,080 2,180 3,375 including improvement schemes

Description These savings span across efficiency and service reduction and will be delivered through a range of actions and initiatives. The main element of service reduction relates to reducing revenue funding for road and footway maintenance activity. The impact of this will be mitigated through redirecting Local Transport Plan (LTP) capital resources, currently used to deliver improvement schemes, into maintenance. There is a statutory responsibility to maintain highways but no such duty to improve them. Sustaining overall highway maintenance funding in this way will better enable a switch from defect-driven maintenance to preventative maintenance, itself more cost-effective over time. Funding for future highway network improvements would require greater pursuit of external resources such as Government grants, developer funding and Single Growth fund (via the Leicester and Leicestershire Economic Partnership (LLEP)), potentially supplemented by greater use of County Council generated capital receipts. Update on Progress: Bids for schemes have been submitted as part of the LLEP’s Strategic Economic Plan. The amount of funding LLEP will have available to allocate, and the schemes that will actually get taken forward will not be known until the summer.

SR4 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Environmental maintenance reductions 750 750 750

Description A reduction of grass cutting to safety cuts only and forestry to safety maintenance only. Update on Progress: Can be enforced from the point in time that the saving needs to take effect from (i.e. April 2015). Some work is being undertaken exploring the extent to which Districts/Borough and/or parish councils may take on delivery of grass cutting (effectively as a sub-contractor), absorbing former Tarmac employees once the Highway Works Alliance contract ends.

SR 5 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Road Safety Partnership funding 200 200 200

Description This is a withdrawal of Leicestershire County Council’s annual contribution to the Road Safety Partnership. This will need the partnership to continue with a different focus, concentrating solely on driver education and relying on the funds generated from driver education workshops and accumulated balances. Update on Progress: Partnership informed of intention to withdraw funding, and is working towards a business model that allows the service to be self-funding based on surplus revenues from driver education workshops.

19

SR6 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Review of Special Education Needs (SEN) 120 120 120 120 Transport Policy

Description This is the full-year impact of an already implemented change of the SEN Home to School and College Transport policy that has made transport provision less generous, thus reducing demand for, and cost of the service. £180,000 was saved in 2013/14. Update on Progress: Already implemented

SR7 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Review of the supported bus network including 300 500 500 500 alternative provision

Description This saving arises from recommendations from a Scrutiny Review Panel to reduce or cease funding for a number of subsidised local bus services, where passenger numbers are low. In some cases, alternative provision (such as Demand Responsive Transport) will be introduced. Update on Progress: Changes identified as to which services will be reduced to deliver the level of saving.

SR8 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Home to school transport – review of discretionary 735 1,100 1,100 1,100 elements

Description This is the impact of an already agreed change of policy which removes discretionary funded transport elements for denominational home to school transport and moving to full cost recovery for post 16 education transport from September 2014. Notification had to be given a year in advance of the changes taking effect. Update on Progress: On track

SR9 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Concessionary travel – additional services 135 135 135 135

Description This is the full-year impact of an already implemented change which removed all the non- statutory provision for concessionary travel, taking effect from September 2013. £135,000 was also saved in 2013/14. Update on Progress: On track

20

SR10 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Service review of the Sustainable Travel Group 150 300 300

Description Anticipated savings that will arise from a service review of activities, and the associated impact on staffing requirements, within the Sustainable Travel Group. Update on Pro gress: Careful management of vacancies as they occur.

SR11 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Change in the number of school days 290 290 290 290

Description The costs associated with school transport depend on the number of school days within the financial year, which can vary based on when the Easter holidays fall. There are less school days in 2014/15 than in 2013/14 leading to this saving. Update on Progress: Automatic adjustment reflecting the number of school days falling within a financial year. Will need to reassess from 2015/16 on the basis of agreed term dates.

Recommendation

3. It is recommended that Members note the content of this report.

NETWORK MANAGEMENT PLAN

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Background

1. The current version of the Network Management Plan (NMP) was published in April 2007.

2. The NMP was identified within the Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) as a key document to help the Council deliver its LTP3. As the local highway authority Leicestershire County Council is responsible for managing the traffic using our road network. By effectively managing the transport system, the Council can provide more consistent, predictable and reliable journeys for the movement of people and goods. This helps to tackle congestion and environmental pollution and improves safety and accessibility for all road users.

3. Managing the road network is vital to the future prosperity of Leicestershire. The Economic Assessment for Leicester and Leicestershire concluded that the transport system has a key role to play in helping local economic prosperity and growth. Given the impact of congestion on the economy a strategic approach is required, one which considers the causes of congestion, the impacts, the challenges and the possible solutions.

4. The NMP is a key document in helping to achieve the above. It sets out the strategic approach to managing and developing the highway network. Its implementation will help to ensure that Leicestershire’s transport system is fit-for-purpose both now and in the future, helping to deliver both national and local objectives.

Our Network Management Plan

5. The Leicestershire NMP sets out how the Council will fulfil the network management duty. It explores: • The challenges faced; • The needs of road users, highway authorities and utility companies • The causes of congestion; 22

• The impacts of congestion (both now and in the future); • Policies to deal with congestion; • The transport services that the Council will deliver; • How Leicestershire’s transport system (road and bus network) will be managed in order to help tackle congestion; • What the Council can do to address congestion.

6. The Leicestershire NMP contains actions that the Council will be taking to ensure the plan is implemented. The policies that have been introduced, or will be introduced, to manage the network are shown at appropriate points throughout the plan.

7. To support the delivery of Leicestershire’s LTP3 a robust monitoring framework has been put in place and existing LTP3 performance indicators will be used to measure the impact of the NMP.

Conclusions 8. The NMP is a key element in the delivery of Leicestershire’s LTP3. The NMP’s main aim is to deliver, at a minimum, goals 1 and 2 of LTP3. The delivery of these goals will contribute to the delivery of the other LTP3 goals.

9. The NMP will not only contribute to the delivery of local goals but will enable the Council to meet our network management duty and contribute to delivering national goals.

10. The NMP is key in helping to manage Leicestershire’s road network, which is vital to the future prosperity of Leicestershire.

11. Given the impact of congestion on the economy the NMP will provide a strategic approach to congestion, one which considers the causes of congestion, the impacts, the challenges and the possible solutions.

12. Overall, the NMP will help the Council to have a holistic approach to network management in Leicestershire. This will help to deliver positive outcomes for our local economy and quality of life for the people who live, work and travel through Leicestershire County.

13. The NMP will be reviewed and refreshed on an annual basis. This will ensure that it reflects changes to national legislation and guidance, changes to local policies and new procedures and developments. 23

Recommendation

14. It is recommended that Members note the content of this report.

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR CHARNWOOD

27 TH MAY 2014

ROAD SAFETY IN LEICESTERSHIRE – 2013

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Purpose of Report

1. The report - Road Safety in Leicestershire 2013 – provides an up-to-date record of casualty data for Leicestershire. It shows our performance against our Local Transport Plan (LTP3) 2020 casualty reduction targets and outlines the various casualty reduction initiatives deployed in the county.

Background

2. The third Leicestershire Local Transport Plan 2011 – 2026 (LTP3) was adopted as County Council policy and published in April 2011. This Plan consists of two parts: the long term strategy (2011-2026); and the shorter term (three-year) implementation plans (which are reviewed and refreshed annually). The Second LTP3 Implementation Plan (2014 - 2017) was published on 10th April 2014.

3. LTP3 includes the strategic outcome of reducing the total number of reported road casualties by 29% by 2020, compared with the 2005/09 average. In preparing the Second LTP3 Implementation Plan in 2013, it was noted that the annual milestones for total and slight casualties had already been achieved for 2014, 2015 and 2016. Consequently, within the Second LTP3 Implementation Plan, the 2020 target has been made more challenging and revised to achieve a 40% reduction. The annual milestones for total, KSI and slight casualties have been increased proportionally.

4. This year, the full road safety report will only be available on the internet via the Council’s website in line with the “digital by default” approach recently adopted by the Council. The link is www.leics.gov.uk/casualtyreport. The Summary section of the report is reprinted here as Appendix A . 26

5. This paper to the Highway Forum includes, at Appendix B , additional information by district or borough council areas. A map, showing the location of recorded road traffic accidents in Charnwood District in 2013, is shown as Appendix C .

Main Points – Leicestershire

6. The latest Leicestershire accident and casualty figures and trends are shown in Table 1.

7. Points to highlight (with detail shown in Appendix A ) are:

• In recent years, Leicestershire’s record of casualty reduction is at least as good as, and sometimes better than, national trends; • Total casualty numbers disappointingly increased between 2012 and 2013 from 1876 to 1889 (11 casualties), the first increase since 2000; • The increase in casualties this year means total and slight casualty reduction milestones for 2013 have been missed by 59 and 65 casualties respectively. The 2013 KSI annual milestone has been exceeded by 6 casualties; • 2013 has seen record low numbers for those killed and follows the previous record low in 2012. 2013 was also a record low year for KSI casualties; • Compared with 2012, car occupant (driver and passenger) casualties increased by 2%, motorcyclist (rider and pillion) casualty numbers stayed the same, cyclist casualties increased by 1% and pedestrian casualties reduced by 15%. 27

APPENDIX A

(Reprint of summary section of Road Safety in Leicestershire 2013 Report)

Summary Key figures Within Leicestershire in 2013, there were 1,388 recorded road injury accidents resulting in 1,889 casualties (24 killed, 162 serious and 1,703 slight) involving 2,662 vehicles.

Car occupants are consistently the largest casualty group and, in 2013, they accounted for 1,315 casualties (913 drivers and 402 passengers). This is 70% of total casualties (48% drivers and 22% passengers). Of the 913 car driver casualties, a disproportionately high number, 27%, were 17 - 25 years old. Of the remainder, 57% were 26 to 59 years old and 16% were aged over 59. Male drivers were 55% of total car driver casualties.

Pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists represent the vulnerable travel modes as they respectively make up approximately 3%, 2% and 1% of the average distance travelled but suffered 9%, 8% and 8% of Leicestershire’s casualties. In 2013, 153 pedestrians, 163 motorcyclists and 150 cyclists were injured.

Of the 1,889 total casualties, 672 were on A roads, 495 on C roads, 269 on B roads, 276 on unclassified roads and 177 on motorways.

Chapter 1 - How did we do in 2013? A) Leicestershire has a record of overall casualty reduction which, in recent years, is at least as good as, and sometimes better than, national (GB) trends. This is shown in Figure S1.

B) Total accident numbers fell by 1% from 1396 in 2012 to 1388 in 2013 but respective casualty numbers disappointingly increased by 1%, from 1878 to 1889. The long-term trends for accidents and casualties can be found in Table S1, below.

As can be seen, the year-on-year reduction in accident numbers has generally been reducing. The exception to this was between 2010 and 2011 when the reduction was 152 accidents, much larger than might have been expected.

C) Compared with 2012, KSI casualties in 2013 have reduced by 5% but slight casualties increased by 1%. The specific percentage changes are • Fatalities reduced by 11%; • Serious injuries reduced by 4%; • Slight injuries increased by 1%; • Car occupant casualties increased by 2%; • Pedestrian casualties reduced by 15%; • Motorcyclist casualties are unchanged; • Cyclist casualties increased by 1%.

D) Comparing 2013 with 2005/09, the baseline average used to measure local and national performance, we find that: • Total casualties have reduced by 24%; • Casualties for the main travel modes (car occupant, motorcyclist, pedestrians, goods and bus occupants) have all shown reductions greater than 20%, except for cyclists whose numbers increased by 1%.

E) The total and slight performance indicators were made more challenging this year (40% reduction by 2020 compared with 2005/09) in the Second LTP3 Implementation Plan (2014 – 2017) published on 10 April 2014. The increase 30

in casualties this year means that the respective total and slight milestones for 2013 have been missed by 59 and 65 casualties respectively. The KSI performance indicator annual milestone has been exceeded by 6.

F) 2013 saw the lowest number of recorded road deaths (24) since current records began in 1979. The 27 deaths recorded in 2012 was the next lowest. Since 1979, KSI casualties have sometimes shown year-to-year increases, but the overall trend has been steadily downward. Whilst in 2013, KSI casualties were at an all-time low, the rate at which they are now reducing has slowed.

Chapters 2 to 5 - What did we do in 2013? LTP3 sets out our strategy for reducing the number of casualties in Leicestershire. Work undertaken in 2013 is valued at approximately £1.5 million, shared between the four strategy areas, which are: • Providing a safer road environment by ensuring that new developments can safely be accommodated within the highway network, continuing with the delivery of targeted local safety schemes and maintaining an on-going programme of low cost traffic management schemes; • Managing speed by the use of appropriate speed limits, safety cameras, vehicle activated signs, school 20mph zones, speed awareness courses and community speed watch; • Working to deliver road safety education, training and publicity (ETP) particularly within the Leicester Leicestershire Rutland Road Safety Partnership (LLRRSP); • Improving safety for vulnerable road users, which are children, pedestrians, cyclists, older people, and motorcyclists; principally by means of ETP.

Specific examples of individual engineering improvement schemes implemented in 2013 and targeting casualty reduction are: • Iveshead Road, Charley (Charley Crossroads), Shepshed; • Dominion Road/Tournament Road roundabout, Glenfield; • A5199 Bull Head Street / B5418 Wakes Road / B582 Oadby Road roundabout, Wigston; • A6004 Epinal Way/ Beacon Road roundabout, Loughborough.

Chapter 6 - Data Analysis 2013 Data analysis undertaken in 2013 looks at: • Why the proportion of accidents within 50m of a pedestrian crossing increased from 9% to 21% between 2008 and 2012?; • The comparative safety record of pelican and zebra crossings; • Why Failed to Look Properly is the most common contributory factor in accidents and why the proportion of accidents to which it is assigned has increased from 23% to 35% between 2005 and 2012?; • KSI accidents on 60 mph roads. 31

Chapter 7 - A wider view – Points of interest for 2013 National websites have been set up for comparing the casualty reduction performance of all English highway authorities, facilitating the exchange of information and reporting research. Road safety charities have also established websites and these are a further source of road safety information. A sample of these sites is reviewed here.

Conclusion The continued reduction in the number of fatalities and KSI casualties in 2013, to the lowest they have been since our records began in 1979, is very welcome, but the increase in slight injuries is a concern. Whilst this increase is for just one year, it is a reminder that continued effort is needed if we wish to maintain the downward trends for both KSI and slight casualties.

Appendices The Appendices A to M contain general accident and casualty data tables and other useful background information.

APPENDIX B District or Borough Council Casualties

Table B1 shows both recent and long term casualty reductions for all district and borough councils within Leicestershire. Whilst the performance of individual areas differs considerably, the overall picture is influenced by population, road length, traffic volumes and the rural/urban nature of the roads. Comparing the casualty numbers in this table is therefore of limited value. The distribution of casualties is shown in Figure B1 with percentage road length in brackets.

Table B1 and Figure B1 show that Charnwood recorded the most casualties in 2013 compared with other borough and district councils. This accounts for about 21% of total casualties on 17% of road network.

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR CHARNWOOD

27 TH MAY 2014

SURFACE DRESSING

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Purpose of Report

1. To provide Members with an understanding of the process of surface dressing, its objectives and benefits.

The Aim

2. Surface dressing is fundamentally a straightforward treatment whereby a layer of new bitumen binder, overlaid with stone chippings, is applied to the surface of a carriageway and sometimes a footway. It is principally used as a maintenance technique to extend the life of a carriageway surface and to benefit road safety by improving or restoring the texture and skid resistance of the surface.

3. Surface dressing is widely recognised as an essential and cost-effective technique for maintaining the condition of the majority of bitumen-bound (often referred to as “tarmac”) roads. It is not an alternative to carriageway resurfacing, although the general public often perceive it as this.

4. It is helpful in appreciating the purpose of surface dressing to consider managing the lifecycle of a carriageway asset in terms of “maintenance”, “repair” and “renewal”.

Treatment Place in the Lifecycle Notes Surface The primary Low cost. Used to minimise the need for dressing “maintenance” process “repairs” and to extend the lifespan of the surface and avoid frequent and costly “renewal” Filling potholes Ongoing “repairs” to High cost and these treatments introduce and surface maintain serviceability their own inherent weakness. patching Full resurfacing “Renewal” of the asset A relatively expensive process that is usually applied once a surface is in a condition that is beyond economic repair.

5. With this in mind, a good parallel can be drawn between the maintenance of highways and the maintenance of the exterior woodwork on a domestic property. Replacement of window frames represents the “renewal” stage, cutting out rotten wood represents “repair” while regular painting represents “maintenance” and in this context, is akin to surface dressing.

38

The Programme

6. The County Council undertakes an annual programme of surface dressing. Roads that are due to be dressed are currently identified between two to three years in advance of dressing. This is based on an analysis of the historical programme, the current condition of the road, accident data and factors that dictate the likely rate and type of further deterioration, such as the current construction and materials, traffic flows and new developments.

7. The programme is continuously refined, subject to changes in the above factors and in order to co-ordinate with other works, particularly major works by developers and utility companies.

8. Preparatory works usually commence around 18 months in advance of the dressing application, including patching any significant damage, installing any new features such as kerbs and recording details of white lines and characteristics of the site and existing surface that are required for the design of the dressing.

9. The surface dressing itself is undertaken each year during spring and late summer, when road surface temperatures are most suitable. To minimise the time and cost of moving plant and machinery, the operation usually progresses continuously around the county from one location to the next, although variations in materials usually results in at least two “circuits” being required

The Design Process

10. The design of surface dressing is critical to its success and is based on sound engineering principles. The County Council follows the design principles set out in “Road Note 39” published by the Transport Research Laboratory which represents the industry standard. Staff involved have attended training provided by the Road Surface Treatment Association (RSTA).

11. Ahead of the process of dressing, the characteristics of each site are measured and observed, including the site dimensions, areas of shade and gradient (which require variations in binder application and/or chipping size) and the hardness of the surface is measured. Calculations are undertaken to establish the type and quantities of bitumen binder and chippings.

12. Line markings are also recorded. The existing markings are reviewed and the Traffic and Safety Group is asked to advise of any alterations that are required when the lines are replaced

The Laying Process

13. Immediately prior to the application, the site is given a final check and items such as manhole covers and reflective studs are taped over so that they are not coated by the dressing. The carriageway is swept because the presence of dust and detritus reduces the adhesion of the new bitumen binder.

14. The whole operation then arrives on site. A number of vehicles and crew are required to transport, lay and roll the binder and chippings and these operate as a unit, commonly described as the surface dressing “train”. Narrow, lightly trafficked

39

roads are sometimes dressed across their full width in a single pass but usually the operation will cover one side of the carriageway and then the other. A legal order is processed to allow the roads to be closed to traffic but subject to a risk assessment, the operation will usually allow passing traffic.

15. Binder is sprayed onto the surface and immediately overlaid with a surplus of chippings (much like applying glitter to a Christmas card). The whole surface is then rolled with a specialist pneumatic-tyred roller.

16. It is a key part of the principle of surface dressing that, over time, the newly applied chippings will become depressed into the old surface, thereby becoming very strongly locked into the fabric of the road. It is for this reason that the dressing is applied in the spring and summer, when the old surface is warm and at its softest. This “embedment” of the chippings, into a relatively hard surface cannot be achieved by a single heavy rolling with a steel roller as this would merely crush the chippings. Instead, it has to be achieved by numerous light rolls over a period of time. The initial rolling begins this process but it continues over several months under the passage of traffic.

17. The surplus of chippings ensures that the binder is all coated, that there is a good interlock of chippings over time and that some protection is provided for the underlying chippings from scuffing during initially trafficking. A surplus is therefore necessary for the effectiveness of the process. ‘Loose Chipping’ sign boards and advisory speed limits are displayed on all sites up until the site is considered to have settled down adequately, usually after 3-4 weeks.

18. Immediately after application, the dressing is very vulnerable. Light sweeping only is possible in the early days and heavy braking or turning movements are liable to scuff the surface. Modern power-steering has created particular problems where dressing is applied near driveways or in turning areas/culs-de-sac.

19. A follow up sweep continues for approximately three weeks after the dressing and subject to the behaviour of each site. After this, any remaining white lines will be repainted and the loose chippings signs removed.

20. All of the sweepings are reprocessed (washed and graded) and then re-used on further dressing sites.

Critical Factors

21. When laying, both the binder and the original road surface are sensitive to weather. Surface dressing cannot be applied during wet conditions or when temperatures are particularly high (i.e. through a summer heat wave) and so the programme will be delayed when these types of conditions arise.

22. During periods of hot weather, the operation may therefore be rescheduled to start very early or finish late in order to gain advantage of more appropriate ambient temperatures.

23. The dressing remains vulnerable through the first winter; embedment of the chippings is not always complete. The new binder continues to stiffen and the old road becomes very hard if temperatures drop significantly and loses its adhesive

40

quality. All of the previous year’s sites are therefore monitored over the winter and a full check is undertaken during March. It is usually necessary to undertake additional sweeping of a handful of sites where further chipping loss has occurred and occasionally the loss is significant and the site will be earmarked for remedial work.

Communication

24. The annual surface dressing programme is reported to Members routinely through the standing maintenance and improvements report included within the papers of each Highway Forum.

25. This same programme, with some indicative programme dates is also shared on the County Council’s website from a few weeks before the dressing commences and is updated throughout the season.

26. For the coming 2014 season, this information will also be available to the Customer Service Centre and its agents will receive a daily update of the sites completed.

27. A further new initiative in 2014 will be advance warning signs, attached to street furniture at locations where there are a number of properties. These signs will simply indicate that dressing is due within the next fortnight. Unfortunately, because the operation moves rapidly but can also be delayed by weather and other incidents, it is very difficult to give a confident indication of the likely date and time that each site will be dressed until the receding day.

28. The day prior to dressing, letters are distributed to all properties at locations where dressing is expected. The letter confirms that the process will take place the following day and provides advice about loose chippings and the need to keep the carriageway clear of parked vehicles.

Traffic Management

29. It is sometimes necessary to close roads for surface dressing but, in the majority of cases, traffic is managed by stop/go boards or occasionally by temporary lights. There is sufficient flexibility in a programme as large as this to avoid critical sites at peak periods and so delays to traffic are usually minimal. Some frequently busy roads will be scheduled to either an early start or Sunday working.

Benefits/Lifespan

30. The benefits of dressing in terms of minimising expensive pothole and patch repairs and maintaining the life of the underlying fabric of the road has been previously described. Not every road surface is suitable for dressing and not every surface benefits in the same way. However, as a generalisation, a new surface ( if it is not dressed) will begin to show signs of pothole development and fretting of the surface, after between 4 and 10 years. It would be likely to require substantial repairs and perhaps full renewal after between 6 and 12 years. This model of deterioration can often be seen in private car parks where dressing is frequently overlooked.

31. However, if a dressing is applied in the early life of the new surface and then the surface is redressed on a cyclical basis, then a road with a good foundation and

41

adequate drainage can continue in a sound and serviceable condition for many decades.

32. The typical costs of the various treatments described in this report are provided below.

Treatment Typical Cost Full carriageway Between £8 and £20 per square metre. resurfacing Carriageway Between £20 and £60 per square metre and a reduced surface patching lifespan compared to full resurfacing Pothole repairs Between £80 and £200 per pothole, with further repairs likely in the not-too-distant future Surface dressing £1.75 - £2.50 per square metre, although in some locations, preparatory costs can raise this to around £3 - £4

33. Surface dressing is therefore an extremely cost-effective and vital process that keeps Leicestershire’s roads in a serviceable condition year on year and reduces the requirement for more costly interim repairs.

34. It is however important to recognise that surface dressing is not a cure-all. It primarily protects the surface of the carriageway from wear and tear. It does help limit deterioration due to deeper foundation weakness (by sealing cracks, keeping moisture out and slowing the development of potholes) but, when used on roads with insufficient structural strength, its benefits diminish. Many of our rural roads have no formal construction and parts of the main road network have limited construction. These roads, when they are subject to additional traffic stress due to increasing flow or vehicle size, are prone to structural failure. Whilst surface dressing may help delay the process, the appropriate treatment is to strengthen or manage the road, until it is in a condition where a regime of surface dressing is again the viable maintenance option.

WHITE LINING IN SHEPSHED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Purpose of Report

1. To inform Members of the process with regard to the replacement of road markings.

Background

2. County Councillor Radford has requested a report on reinstating white lines around Shepshed.

3. There are two main reasons for road markings requiring to be replaced. Those that require replacement due to being removed as part of resurfacing work and secondly renewal of existing markings which are suffering from wear and tear.

Resurfacing Work.

4. When a resurfacing, surface dressing or patching scheme removes road markings, replacement of the markings is included as part of the scheme. The markings are replaced on the new surface prior to it becoming contaminated with traffic grime or other debris.

Renewal of Existing Road Markings.

5. After road markings have been replaced, the life of the marking is very dependent on the amount of scuffing action from vehicle tyres. At many locations, the road markings will provide good service for a number of years; however, lines which suffer more scuffing from vehicle tyres wear away more quickly and therefore require earlier replacement. Streets with worn road markings are identified by the highway inspectors or reports received from residents. These streets are put into programmes of work, usually based within the same locality which allows the road marking gang to minimise the driving time between the various sites and thereby maximising the productive time spent on renewing the lines.

44

6. To reduce the risk of the new road marking delaminating, the timing of the majority of the renewal work on an old road surface is dictated by the need to have a dry clean surface on which to apply the lines. During the shorter days of the winter months, there is little heat stored in the road which means the surface is often damp for much of the already shorter daylight hours. In addition, the salt which is applied to prevent ice forming during cold conditions acts like a thin coat of dust on the road thereby preventing good adhesion to the surface.

7. Given the need to achieve a good bond to the road surface, the majority of the road marking renewals is programmed for the period of better weather, when salting runs are unlikely to be required, with the longer, warmer and hopefully drier days between April and September.

8. With regard to Shepshed, a resurfacing scheme was completed in Belton Street in late February / early March 2014. As part of this scheme the road markings that had been removed were replaced. With the departure of winter, a programme of road marking renewals have been issued for locations in Shepshed that have been identified to have worn road markings in need of replacement.

Conclusion

9. To be successful, road markings need to achieve good adhesion to the road surface. When road markings have been removed as part of a scheme, the road markings are replaced on the new surface as part of the scheme. Programmable works for renewing existing markings are better carried out between April and September when the weather and road conditions are more likely to provide the dry and clean road surface which is required to achieve good adhesion. Highway staff identify locations where the road markings are wearing out and renewal needs to be considered. If residents are aware of locations where the road markings are wearing out, they can notify the Customer Service Centre. The location and the report will be passed onto the officer who prepares the road marking renewal programme in that area.

Equal Opportunities Implications

10. Replacement of road markings will improve the condition of the network for the convenience of all users, whilst causing an element of localised disruption whilst the work is carried out.

Recommendation

11. It is recommended that Members note the contents of this report.

ENERGY REDUCTION FOR STREET LIGHTING PROJECT

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Background

1. At the previous Highways Forum, statistical evidence was requested to substantiate the claim that crime has not risen since the introduction of part- night lighting in Leicestershire. This report updates Members on the current situation of the project within Charnwood.

Update

2. A review is undertaken in each area one year after the lighting is converted to part-night lighting. To date, the responses from the emergency services and the Council’s Accident Investigation and Prevention unit have indicated that this initiative has not led to an increase in crime or road traffic accidents.

3. In addition to these reviews, analysis was conducted by LCC’s Research & Insight Team comparing reported crimes at parish level in the year leading up to the part-night scheme with the first year of operation. It should be noted that some of the recorded crimes occurred over a period of time with no known time of occurrence (i.e. whilst people are on holiday). These were included in this research to give the worst-case scenario.

4. In summary, given the general trend of the data none of the results can be considered statistically significantly different from what would be expected whether an increase or decrease in crimes has been shown. Whilst this study may prove useful in giving a snapshot of the effect of part-night lighting on crime, a three year sample with crime locations would give a much more statistically viable conclusion.

5. To conclude, this research has shown that overall crimes occurring between the hours of switch-off in Leicestershire have come down by 10%. With regard to the Charnwood District, overall part-night lighting (PNL) crime is down by 4% following lighting changes.

46

6. The attached table (Appendix A) shows the results from each parish with a breakdown of the crime categories as follows:

a) Criminal damage - damage to property, be it commercial, domestic or public Place;

b) Other acquisitive crime - theft from outbuildings/garden, agricultural theft or theft from commercial enterprises;

c) Serious acquisitive crime - domestic burglary (residence), theft of a motor vehicle, theft from a motor vehicle and robbery (people and business);

d) Sexual – excludes domestic abuse;

e) Violence against the person – assault without injury, assault with less serious injury, other violence against person, serious violence against person;

f) Other offences – drugs, fraud, public order offences, etc.

7. We are continuing to work closely with the police and will act upon any concerns they may have. For example, after a spate of burglaries in an area last year, detailed analysis was carried out. It was found that just over 50% of them occurred in properties adjacent to a lit street light, leading to a conclusion that the criminal was not specifically targeting the unlit streets. Nonetheless, almost 200 lights were returned to all-night operation. These are now scheduled to be returned to part-night operation, following the arrest of the individual responsible.

Recommendation

8. It is recommended that Members note the content of this report.
