Highways Capital Programme for 2020/21 Calderdale MBC Wards Affected All Cabinet 16th March 2020 10 Highways Capital Programme for 2020/21 Report of the Director Regeneration and Strategy 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 To present the 2020/21 Capital Programmes for Highways Maintenance and Integrated Transport. 1.2 Improved and well maintained highways are an essential element of our progress towards the delivery of Vision 2024, strengthening our resilience and providing a platform for talents and enterprise to flourish. 1.3 The recent Highways Pier Review commended the Authority’s approach to asset management planning and this report continues our prioritised approach to investment. 1.4 Whilst addressing the basics of highway maintenance and safety within the constraints of the available funding, the Programme takes forward the Councils agenda of responding to climate change and public health issues by supporting active travel and carbon reduction wherever possible. 2. Need for a decision 2.1 An approved capital programme is an essential requirement of our status as a Level 3 highway asset management authority. 3. Recommendation It is recommended: 3.1 that the Highway Maintenance and Integrated Transport Capital Programmes for the financial year 2020/21, as set out in the Appendices to this report, are approved. 3.2 that the Assistant Director, Strategic Infrastructure, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for the Regeneration and Resources be authorised to agree any minor changes in the programmes which may become necessary; 3.3 that in light of these approvals the Strategic Infrastructure Delivery Plan is updated accordingly. 4. Background and/or details Funding Sources: 4.1 Each year the Council receives a Highway Maintenance Block Funding allocation from the Department for Transport (DfT) to deliver various programmes of work, including: Carriageway Maintenance Structural Maintenance Street Lighting Upgrade and Replacement 4.2 In addition to this block funding, Local Authorities are also required to submit a self- assessment questionnaire to the DfT in order to obtain additional “Incentive Funding”. For the past two years the Council has declared itself to be at level 3 which has enabled us to receive the maximum available funding of £661k. Other specific “ad hoc” grant awards are also made by the Government (e.g. Pothole Funding). Comments in relation to the funding available in the financial year 2020/21 are set out below. 4.3 This year specific mention has been made of white lining and bollards in two places (Appendix 1 and 3) and is anticipated that approximately £200k will be spent on the improvement of these assets at key locations within the Borough. Highway Maintenance Block Funding 4.4 The DfT has previously confirmed to the Council the likely Highways Maintenance Block Funding allocation for the financial years 2015 to 2021. The Block Funding available for the financial year 2020/21 is £3.171m. Incentive Fund 4.5 In 2014, the Secretary of State for Transport announced that £6 billion funding would be made available between 2015/16 and 2020/21 for local highways maintenance capital funding. From this funding allocation, £578m has been set aside for an Incentive Fund scheme. This is to reward councils who demonstrate that they are delivering value for money in carrying out cost effective improvements. Throughout the year officers have continued to introduce further efficiency, and as a result have again declared at Level 3. Confirming this to the DfT on 27th February 2020. Consequently, the Council should again receive the maximum level of Incentive Funding in 2020/21. Pothole Fund 4.6 No indication of the level of grant likely to be available for this financial year has been received but the lowest previous settlement was £188k. Page 2 5. Capital Programme 2020/21 5.1 A key element of the Local Highways Maintenance Capital Funding Self-Assessment Questionnaire requires the Council to demonstrate how it has reviewed, prioritised and implemented programmes of work in order to improve efficiency, overall performance and demonstrate best value for money. In addition to this, the Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Strategy states that the work programmes will be prioritized using a “risk based” approach and the programmes of work detailed in this report have been determined on this basis. 5.2 The Council’s Performance Indicator for Road Condition for Principal and Unclassified Roads indicates that the Council will strive to remain within the 5% target for “urgent maintenance required to Principal Roads” (a target that has been agreed by all West Yorkshire Council’s in consultation with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority). Likewise, our target for the unclassified road network is 10%. However, in order to meet this ambitious target for Unclassified Roads it is estimated that we would have to invest in excess of £35m. 5.3 It is further estimated that in order to retain a “steady state” condition on the unclassified network we would require an overall roads budget of £6.2m, which is £4.2m higher than at present. Carriageway Maintenance £2.332m 5.4 The overall programme allows for work to be completed in relation to Surface Dressing and Carriageway Resurfacing / Patching. This programme is split between Classified (A, B & C) and Unclassified Roads. Further details are included in Appendix 1 of this report. 5.5 The SCANNER (Surface Condition Assessment for the National Network of Roads) principle has been used to identify the two schemes to be included in the Classified Roads element of this programme at Bacup Road, Todmorden (Classified A Road) and South Parade, Stainland (Classified B Road). In the current year no schemes are put forward on Classified C Roads. This survey method provides a consistent method of measuring the surface condition of road carriageways, using automated road condition survey machines. All of CMBC Classified (A, B & C) road network is surveyed annually in this manner. 5.6 Before compiling the overall programme, officers complete Detailed Visual Inspection Surveys (DVI) in order to provide further detailed information to determine the programme. 5.7 The nature of the unclassified road network requires a different type of survey. A Course Visual Inspection (CVI) is undertaken by accredited and audited contractors, working to UK Pavement Management System (UKPMS) standards. The result provides a 20 metre breakdown of the defectiveness of all the unclassified roads surveyed by means of a Road Condition Index (RCI). From this a programme of works is agreed for unclassified roads. 5.8 In addition to those roads listed in Appendix 1 significant large scale patching works are expected to be carried out on Cousin Lane, and Ovenden Way will be assessed for “Milepave” a specific treatment especially designed for concrete roads. In anticipation of the Towns Fund a full detailed design for the reconstruction of Birds Royds Lane (for possible prioritisation within the Towns Board list of other priorities) will also be created and costed accordingly. Structures / Maintenance £1m 5.9 The Council’s structures asset extends 283 highway bridges, 60 culverts and 730 km of walls. These are inspected on a regular basis (every two years they undergo a general Page 3 inspection and every five years a principle inspection) and in light of these inspections a programme of works is developed. The gross replacement costs are estimated to be approximately £1.25bn and hence it can be seen that the overall value of the capital maintenance programme detailed in this report is relatively small in comparison. 5.10 This year it is planned to commence an assessment of the seven post-tensioned concrete structures / bridges that we have in the Borough. In turn this will then be used to form the basis for understanding the costs implications (and programme) for any associated maintenance interventions. 5.11 Further details are set out in Appendix 2. Street Lighting Replacement and Light Emitting Diode (LED) Upgrade £500k 5.12 The Council agreed on 22 November 2017 to a comprehensive replacement and upgrade programme totalling £21.6m. In the financial year 2020/21 funding of £500k has been earmarked to contribute towards the overall cost of the LED Programme for the year. 5.13 It is anticipated that completion of the scheme and replacement of the existing lighting with LED lanterns will reduce the overall energy bill by £1m per annum. Completion of the scheme will also contribute a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and help to achieve its aim of being Carbon neutral by 2038 with a significant progress of 2030. Integrated Transport Programme 2020/21 – anticipated funding £1.842m (inc. £700k C/F) 5.14 The Integrated Transport programme of schemes and initiatives is based on an agreed level of allocation for specific work areas within the following four key themes agreed at a West Yorkshire level: Network Management i.e. the upgrade and renewal of the traffic signals asset; Safer Healthier Streets i.e. casualty reduction, local traffic management, walking and cycling and vulnerable road users; Healthy Streets demonstration project; Bus, i.e. local congestion hotspots. 5.15 The Council has been allocated funding of £1.142 million in the financial year 2020/21 to deliver individual schemes which sit across these themes with an additional fund of £700k carried over from previous years. DfT Safer Roads Programme - £1.031m C/F from 2019/20 5.16 The Council continues to deliver a package of road safety measures on the A6033 Keighley and Rochdale Roads from the £2.324 million allocated in the previous financial year. It is anticipated that the sum of £1.031m will be carried forward to the financial year 2020/21 to complete the programme. Page 4 West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund (WY+TF) - £4.575m 5.17 The Council’s indicative budget to deliver all of its schemes is £207m, and Funding Agreements totalling £29m are already in place to develop various schemes to Full Business Case within the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Assurance Framework.

  • 5 December 2018 Dear Parent/Carer I Am Writing to Inform You of a Crucial Consultations Regarding the Admissions Policy of Both
    5 December 2018 Dear Parent/Carer I am writing to inform you of a crucial consultations regarding the Admissions Policy of both Trinity Academy Halifax (TAH) and Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge (TASB). As a parent/carer of a current Akroydon pupil, you will be aware that the academy is part of the Trinity Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). The founding academy of the MAT was Trinity Academy Halifax, and it was joined recently by Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge. Trinity Academy Halifax is also the home of the Trinity Teaching School Alliance and the West Yorkshire Maths Hub. Moreover, it is the highest performing secondary school in the local authority (see the Calderdale secondary league table below), and is the only mainstream secondary school in Calderdale to have its quality of teaching rated as ‘outstanding’. Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge was in the top 1% of most improved secondary schools in the country last year, with transformational and outstanding results achieved after just 18 months working as part of the Trinity MAT. Indeed, its 2018 pupil outcomes placed it second (only to Trinity Academy Halifax) in the league tables of Calderdale schools. Calderdale secondary school performance tables 2018 Note: Progress 8 measures the progress of all pupils in a school across English, mathematics, sciences, history, geography, modern foreign language and up to three other subjects.
