151. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING

Minutes of the previous meeting held on Tuesday 22nd September 2015 were confirmed and signed as a true record of the meeting.

152. CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE

a) The Bank, Countesthorpe

The Forum considered an update by the Director of Environment and Transport regarding the parking issues at The Bank, Countesthorpe. This update discussed

4 proposals, following a request from the Parish Council, to return the car park back to the original parallel parking scheme. The report was introduced by Ms Carruthers with a copy filed with the minutes.

Following a Member discussion, the following points were raised: - i) A number of residents had expressed concern over the safety of the current parking scheme, particularly with regard to vehicles not being able to see whilst reversing out of the bays. These concerns had culminated in a petition presented to the previous meeting of the Forum; ii) Concerns had also been raised regarding the aesthetic appearance of the new parking scheme due to the old parallel lines being ‘burnt off’ the road. Officers advised that if the old parking scheme was re-implemented, the new lines would also be burnt off causing further damage to the street scene. In addition, surface dressing would not take place in the immediate future and would only be completed in line with the works programme. It may be several years before the road is due for surface dressing on the programme; iii) Highways officers had undertaken a review of the situation and, whilst they had not identified any safety problems, would respond to the concerns of local residents and Countesthorpe Parish Council by restoring the car parking spaces to the original parallel parking scheme. However, officers advised that if this route was supported by Members and the parish council, the Highways Team would not be in a position to address any future parking requests made in relation to The Bank Countesthorpe. In addition, while the parking alignment would be restored, reinstating the kerbing would not be included within these works; iv) Members were advised that across Countesthorpe there had been very few reported accidents over the past five years, and no accidents had been report as occurring at the Bank; v) Members stressed that whilst the loss of car parking spaces for local businesses would be unfortunate, it was important to respond to the concerns of local residents and the parish council.

Members requested that officers monitor the current car parking arrangements for six months. The motion was put and carried, eight members voting for the motion and one against.

RECOMMENDATIONS i) That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted; and ii) that officers monitor the current car parking arrangements for six months.

b) Network Rail

This update was introduced by Ms Carruthers with a copy filed with the minutes. Ms Carruthers stated that the purpose of the report was to provide an update on the recent development regarding the proposed enhancement works programme for Midland Mainline in Leicestershire.

She stated that, as Members know, the plans to electrify the Midland Mainline was paused in June 2015. Following this, Sir Peter Hendy was asked to review Network Rail's plans for 2014 - 2019. On 29th September 2015, Sir Peter Hendy reported his findings and on 30th September 2015 the Secretary of State for Transport confirmed that the programme could be un-paused and progressed with urgency. 5

Following this, the Hendy Review was published in November 2015.

Ms Carruthers informed Members that the programme was currently expected to be completed by 2019 but was now not expected to be completed until 2024. She also stated that Network Rail has yet to release a detailed programme of work planned for Leicestershire but details are expected in early 2016.

Cllr E White CC advised that, from previous experiences, Network Rail have not communicated information regarding diversions and reiterated that communication is key. Members requested that County Council officers encourage Network Rail to communicate with district and parish councils regarding any work which could have an impact on the area.

Issues were raised regarding Beggars Lane/Lubbesthorpe. Ms Carruthers agreed to arrange for a highways officer to attend Lubbesthorpe Strategic Consultative Board with concerned members of the public.

Cllr G Welsh asked if it was possible to find out if the bridge at Wigston Magna is high enough and if so will that have an impact?

Ms Carruthers informed Members that there were no planned improvements to the rail network going through Blaby, but there would be some knock-on effects from other districts such as increased traffic caused by bridge closures. Officers from the County Council were working closely with Network Rail to identify any potential highway closures as soon as possible in order for any impact in terms of diversionary traffic to be mitigated.

RECOMMENDATIONS

i) That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted; and ii) that officers encourage Network Rail officers to communicate with District and Parish Councils regarding work in this area. iii) that officers find out if the bridge at Wigston Magna meets the height requirement for electrification

c) Taxi Parking on Sandown Road

The update was introduced by Ms Carruthers with a copy filed with the minutes. Ms Carruthers stated that the purpose of the update was to inform Members on enforcement over taxi parking.

Ms Carruthers explained that the County Council have no enforcement powers. Cllr L Yates CC advised that informal requests have been made for owners of the taxis to be more considerate and there have been improvements over recent weeks, although there have been issues on the corner. Bollards have been suggested but it was acknowledged that this just moves the problem. Cllr Yates, along with officers, are working towards a resolution to this issue.

RECOMMENDATION

That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted.

153. PRESENTATION OF PETITIONS UNDER STANDING ORDER 36

There were no petitions received under Standing Order 36.

154. 2015/16 MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAMMES – INFORMATION ITEM

6

A question was asked about Appendix B - why are there cushions after the roundabout exit? It was agreed that this was possibly to stop acceleration but officers will discuss this after the meeting.

Members noted the report.

155. PROGRAMME OF TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDERS AND SIGNING AND LINING SCHEMES – INFORMATION ITEM

Members noted the report.

156. ON-GOING ACTION STATEMENT

There were no outstanding on-going actions.

157. ITEMS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION

The Chairman asked Members to let officers have in writing any items for consideration for future agendas within 10 days of the date of the meeting. These items can be sent to Sue Dann, email [email protected]. The Chairman reiterated the need for advanced warning for officers on items.

158. ANY OTHER ITEMS THE CHAIRMAN HAS DECIDED IS URGENT

The following urgent items were discussed following agreement by the Chairman.

i) Parking on grass verges - The Chairman asked Cllr M Broomhead from Blaby Parish Council to speak on this item. She raised concerns about irresponsible parking on grass verges, pavements and green spaces. Ms Carruthers explained that this links to a wider policy and is difficult to enforce unless there is a safety issue or a Traffic Regulation Order which can be enforced by the police. If they are not causing a safety issue or an obstruction there is nothing the County Council can do. If parking on the pavement is causing a safety problem, the police are the only authority who can enforce, although their resources are limited. Ms Carruthers stated there are also issues with funding bollards. Ms Carruthers agreed to pass this to officers to provide a formal response to Cllr Broomhead. Cllr A Clifford DC stated that there has been previous success in contacting the beat police officers who have sent letters to offenders so this might be an option. ii) Cllr Louise Richardson DC had informed the Chairman of an issue on the B4114 up to Asda where motorists are queue jumping at the roundabout near the Marks and Spencer’s store. She also had informed him that motorists instead of turning into the Park and Ride car park use this lane to jump traffic queues at dangerous speeds. Cllr White agreed that this can cause difficulties when you get stuck in the wrong lane but had been informed that the lanes and signs are correct. Ms Carruthers advised that this relies on motorist’s behaviour but would pass on the details to officers to report back to Cllr Richardson. iii) Cllr S Coar DC raised concerns regarding the new roundabout on Beggars Lane. He felt that at the left turn to Enderby the camber is wrong and there have been some near misses. He went onto say that he feels that the area is unsightly and not in keeping with the surroundings. Cllr Coar also has concerns about the cycle access into Lubbesthorpe and suggests that this should have remained open. Comments were also made about the M1 closure for Lubbesthorpe Bridge and the suggested diversion. iv) Cllr Greenwood informed Members of his concerns about the potholes on Forest Rise where there has been a second incident. Ms Carruthers confirmed that the road was unadopted and therefore not under the purview of the County Council. Cllr Greenwood suggested that owners are not filling the potholes to avoid the un-adopted road becoming a rat run. He asked if the County Council had 7

powers to ensure that the owners of the road filled the potholes. Mr Bullen confirmed that the County Council does hold such powers but they are rarely used due to the expense.

Ms Carruthers offered to discuss this with Cllr Greenwood after the meeting.

159. DATE OF THE NEXT MEETING

The Chairman confirmed the date of the next meeting as Tuesday 14th June 2016 at 4.30pm. [Please note that this meeting has now been rearranged due to the EU Referendum and will now take place on 7th June at 4.30pm]

The Chairman reminded Members again to let officers have in writing any items for consideration for future agendas before the meeting to allow officers advanced warning on items.

160. CHAIRMAN’S CLOSING REMARKS

CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

T5 Street Lighting Transformation Project 2016/17

1. Leicestershire Highways is upgrading the County Councils street lighting stock to LEDs, in order to make substantial savings in energy, carbon and maintenance costs. Leicestershire County Council will be carrying out over 68,000 street light replacements across the county and are programmed to complete all installations within the next 3 years. Initially we are concentrating on the low level street lights (5 & 6m columns) which are mainly in residential areas with the high level installations (6m & above) due to commence from October this year.

2. The first low level installations were successfully carried out in Shepshed, as programmed in March this year, before a full roll-out of four installation teams started work in Loughborough, Hugglescote and Whitwick throughout April and into May. The project is progressing well and is on programme both in time and budget.

3. Details of the full construction programme for the project are being prepared in a suitable format to share with Members and residents and we anticipate this information will be available by the end of June.

4. The table below provides the implementation programme to the end of the current financial year.

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR BLABY

7TH JUNE 2016

PART-NIGHT STREET LIGHTING REVIEW

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Background

1. In 2009, when the Part-night Lighting project was conceived, a commitment was made to a review taking place a year after implementation of every scheme, to look into its effect on crime and road traffic collisions. This review would involve the emergency services, Leicestershire County Council’s Accident Investigation Unit and the relevant parish council.

2. Throughout the project, County officers have maintained a close working relationship with the police reacting to any concerns from police officers accordingly, regardless of these reviews.

3. An update was requested in the last round of Highway Forums on the results of these part-night lighting reviews.

Purpose

4. With the roll-out of part-night lighting having started in 2010 and being completed in autumn 2014, all of the part-night lighting reviews have now been conducted. It is the purpose of this report to summarise the responses Leicestershire County Council have received through these reviews.

Results

5. The Emergency Services have not raised any issues through the reviews. This in part is down to the close working relationship the County Council have had with the police in that any issues with the part-night lighting are quickly picked up and responded to rather than waiting for the reviews to take place.

6. With regard to crimes, when a complaint is received, officers look at the locations and times of the offences and how this relates to the part-night lighting. In the majority of cases, the offenders show no preference for the part-lit areas, with more crimes happening in the lit areas. In the rare instances where the part-night lighting may have been a contributing factor, lights have been returned to all night lighting and officers continue to monitor the site along with the police.

7. The Accident Investigation unit similarly has not raised any issues with the part-night lighting and across the county and there has been no evidence of a detrimental effect on road traffic collisions.

12

8. The Parish Council reviews have received a more mixed response with some councils reporting a rise in crime whilst others have no issues to raise. The evidence seems to point to much of the public’s concerns being based on the fear of crime rather than actual crime.

9. In addition to the annual reviews, the County Council’s Research & Insight Team were asked to produce a report looking in to the effects of part-night lighting on crime. The results of this are attached at Appendix A, a summary of which is below.

Table 1: Number and percentage of crimes before and after part-night lighting of an area shows that crime decrease in all areas but more in areas that were part-lit

Crimes before Crimes after Variance (2 years) (2 years) 3,233 3,073 160 No lighting change 51.3% 48.7% 2.6% 14,707 12,770 1937 Part-lit 53.5% 46.5% 7% 17,940 15,843 2097 All areas (total) 53.1% 46.9% 6.2%

Conclusion

10. The evidence collated to-date shows that part-night lighting has no detrimental effect on crime or road traffic collisions. In fact for 97% of the County’s population, crime decreased more in part-lit areas than it did in areas where there was no change to street lighting.

11. The only exception to this is found to be for “Constrained City Dwellers” who experienced an increase in crime through the introduction of part night lighting. Overall, this group accounts for 2.4% (15,898 people) of the Leicestershire population. As a result of these findings, further study work is proposed on the feasibility of converting some lights back to all night operation and using the dimming capability of the LEDs and the Central Management System, in the areas most affected.

Recommendation

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

Background Information

None. 13 APPENDIX A

What is the effect of reduced street lighting on crime in Leicestershire?

Aim To determine whether the implementation of a part-night lighting scheme within Leicestershire has had an impact upon crime levels in the county.

Objectives  To assess whether the change in crime levels in areas where the part-night lighting scheme has been introduced were significantly different (statistically) to the change in crime levels in areas where street lights remained on. The following differences were examined: o Crime levels overall o Crime levels by days of the week, times of the year and types of communities effected o Types of crime committed

Background Leicestershire County Council is responsible for maintaining approximately 67,000 street lights throughout Leicestershire. In April 2010, the county council started a four year programme to reduce street lighting with the aim of reducing carbon emissions, reducing light pollution and saving money. As part of this programme Leicestershire County Council began implementing part-night lighting of streets in some residential areas. In these areas, street lights are turned off at midnight until 5am. Part-night lighting has been introduced in stages to villages and towns at parish level across Leicestershire. The first area to have part-night lighting was Smeeton Westerby in Harborough district on 1st July 2010. The final area to be part-night lit was Markfield which commenced in August 2014. In total, 157 areas have been part-night lit. These are listed in Appendix A along with the date of implementation for each area. The final six areas to be part-night lit (Groby, Birstall, Wanlip, Loughborough, Glenfield and Markfield) were not included in the analysis as there was less than six months crime data available for comparison.

14 APPENDIX A

Methodology

Crime Data Where possible, four years’ worth of crime data was used to assess the impact of the implementation of the part-night lighting scheme; two years prior to the implementation and two years after

Only data for certain types of crime have been included in the analysis. These are crimes where research suggests that levels of light could have an impact on crime rates. These are: burglary dwelling, burglary other than dwelling, criminal damage, robbery, theft of cycle, theft from motor vehicles and theft of motor vehicles, violence against the person, theft and some sexual crimes. Crimes which have been excluded from the analysis include, for example, fraud, hate crimes and theft from shops.

Whilst the precise time of certain crimes is known, many crimes occur at a time which is unknown, for example, burglaries that happen when homeowners are away. Therefore, the period over which the event could have taken place could span several days or weeks. To analyse crimes that occurred only between midnight and 5am would exclude many crimes that could have occurred during this time frame. Therefore, crimes were only excluded where it was certain that they happened outside of the hours of midnight to 5am. Crimes with an offence start date and offence end date that spanned more than 30 days were also removed from the data set.

The county was divided into a grid of 100 meter squares and each individual crime was mapped to this level. For each grid square, the parish name, output area code and the implementation date of part-night lighting was identified. Each crime was examined to assess whether it had happened in the relevant period before or after the implementation date of the part-night lighting scheme in that area. Crimes that occurred outside of the date ranges of interest were excluded from the analysis.

Street Lamp Data A record of each of the 67,598 streetlamps in Leicestershire was provided by Leicestershire County Council’s Environment and Transport Department. The exact location of each street lamp was

Produced by the Research and Insight Team Page 2 of 11

15 APPENDIX A

provided, as well as whether the lamp was in a part-night lighting scheme. The street lamp data was mapped and assigned to the same 100m grid map as the crime data.

Combining data sets The crime data and street lamp data were combined at the 100m grid level. Crimes which occurred in grids with no street lamps were excluded from the analysis leaving 33,783 crimes for analysis.

Each of the crime incidents in the dataset were then labelled to indicate whether they occurred in an area affected by part-night lighting or not.

Other information included about each crime:  Season (Summer: April – September) / (Winter: October – March)  Day of the week  Midnight-5am indicator (crimes where there was certainty that they occurred during this time frame)

In addition, further information was also joined to the data set, specifically:  Urban Rural Classification for England – a classification or areas based on rurality  2011 Census Output Area Classification (OAC) – a classification of areas based on similar characteristics using Census data (see Appendix B for further information)  English Indices of Multiple Deprivation – a measure of deprivation (deciles for Leicestershire where 1 = most deprived)

Analysis and results After consulting with Lex Comber, professor of Spatial Data Analytics at the University of Leeds, on appropriate methodology, the chi-square statistical test was used to look for significant differences between crime levels over time for areas that were part-lit and those that were not.

The analysis only considered changes in crime figures in areas that were part-lit verses those that were not. It does not attempt to identify nor explain other possible reasons for any changes in crime levels.

16 APPENDIX A

Findings

Headline results The headline results are shown Table 1. It shows that overall, crime levels decreased over time across all areas (i.e. in both areas that were part-lit and those areas where there was no change to street lighting). It shows that, across all areas, 53.1% of the crimes examined in this study occurred in the periods before implementation and 46.9% after – i.e. a reduction in the number of crimes over time (a difference of 6.2 percentage points).

In areas where the part-night lighting programme had been implemented, 53.5% of the crimes occurred in the periods before implementation and 46.5% after (a difference of 7 percentage points). However, in comparison, in areas where there was no change in the level of street lighting, 51.3% of the crimes occurred in the periods before implementation and 48.7% after (a difference of just 2.6 percentage points).

Table 1: Number and percentage of crimes before and after part-night lighting of an area shows that crime decrease in all areas but more in areas that were part-lit

Crimes before Crimes after Total 3,233 3,073 6,306 No change 51.3% 48.7% 100% 14,707 12,770 27,477 Part-lit 53.5% 46.5% 100% 17,940 15,843 33,783 All areas (total) 53.1% 46.9% 100%

Therefore, although crime levels in general reduced over time, crime decreased significantly1 more in areas where the part-night lighting programme had been implemented.

17 APPENDIX A

Detailed results Additional analysis was undertaken to consider the levels of crime by more detailed criteria. The results show the type of impact that part-lighting had for each of the criteria. There were five types of impact observed. These are described below and summarised in Table 2.  “Positive” - where there was a greater reduction in the level of crime in part-lit areas, as compared to areas that were not part-lit  “Very positive” - where there was a reduction in the level of crime in part-lit areas but an increase in areas that were not part lit  “Negative” - where there was a lower reduction in crime in part-lit areas, as compared to areas that were not part-lit  “Very negative” – where there was an increase in crime in part-lit areas, compared to a decrease in areas that were not part lit  “None” - no significant impact on crime levels

Friday None None Saturday None None Sunday None Very positive

For most criteria, there was either no impact or a positive, or very positive, impact on crime levels in areas that were part-lit compared to areas of no change.

Positive Impact Results showed that for some criteria, part-night lighting had a positive or very positive impact on crime levels. This pattern was found for the following criteria:

 Census Output Area Classification o Hard pressed living – Very positive o Hard pressed living (Midnight-5am) – Very positive o Urbanites - Positive  Indices of Multiple Deprivation o Decile 4 – Very positive o Decile 5 – Very positive o Decile 5 (Midnight-5am) – Very positive  Crime type o Violence against the person – Positive o Criminal damage – Positive o Robbery – Very positive o Robbery (midnight-5am) – Very positive  Urban and Rural Classification o Urban areas – Positive  Season o Winter – Positive o Summer (Midnight-5am) – Very positive  Day of the week

20 APPENDIX A

o Sunday (Midnight-5am) – Very positive

As defined by the Census Output Area Classification mentioned in Table 3, 634,591 people or 97.6% of the population in Leicestershire live in areas where there was either no impact or a positive or very positive impact on the levels of crime after the implementation of part-night lighting.

In addition, further breakdown the ‘Hard pressed living’ OAC supergroup showed that two groups ‘Industrious communities’ and ‘Hard pressed ageing workers’ saw a decrease in crime in part-lit areas, whereas the crime increased in areas of no change in lighting.

Furthermore, part-lighting in areas categorised as ‘Hard pressed living’ had a positive impact on levels of certain types of crime, namely, violence against the person crimes and criminal damage, which decreased in part-lit areas but increased in areas of no change in lighting.

 Census Output Area Classification o Hard pressed living . Industrious communities – Very positive . Hard pressed ageing workers – Very positive o Hard pressed living . Violence against the person – Very positive o Hard pressed living . Criminal damage – Very positive

Negative Impact In areas categorised as ‘Constrained City Dwellers’, overall the levels of crime went down post the implementation of part-night lighting. However, the difference was not as great as that experienced in areas where lights remained on. Furthermore, for crimes in these areas, where it is certain they happened between midnight and 5am on the same day, crimes went down in areas of no change in lighting but actually increased where part-lighting was introduced.

There are 69 areas in Leicestershire which are categorised as being part of the ‘Constrained City Dwellers’ OAC supergroup - accounting for a population of 15,898 people or 2.4% of the total Leicestershire population.

22 APPENDIX A

Table 4 shows that for areas classified as Constrained City Dwellers, the levels of certain types of crime increased post implementation of part-night lighting, whereas they decreased in areas where lights remained switched on. This pattern of increased crime levels in part-lit ‘Constrained City Dweller’ areas was found for theft crimes and violence against the person crimes.

It has also been possible to further break down the ‘Constrained City Dwellers’ supergroup into four groups. Investigation highlighted that it was only one of these sub groups, ‘Challenged Diversity’, where there was a lesser reduction in crime overall in part-lit areas compared to areas where lights remained on. There are 29 areas in Leicestershire classed as ‘Challenged diversity’ with a population of 7,154 (1.1% of the Leicestershire population).

Conclusions The aim of this project was to determine whether the implementation of the part-night lighting scheme within Leicestershire has had an impact upon crime levels in the county. The analysis looked at the impact of the implementation of the part-night lighting scheme on crime levels overall and also by crime type, seasonality, days of the week and type of community (using the Urban Rural Classification, the 2011 Census Output Area Classifications and the Indices of Multiple Deprivation).

In most cases, results showed that there was either no impact, or a positive or very positive impact, on crime levels in areas that were part-lit. The only exception was in areas categorised as ‘Constrained City Dwellers’. In these areas, overall, there was a greater reduction in crime where lights remained on, than in areas where they were part-lit. However, for some crime types (theft and violence against the person) and times of the day (midnight-5am), crimes actually increased in areas categorised as ‘Constrained City Dwellers’ after part-night lighting was introduced. There are 69 areas in Leicestershire categorised as ‘Constrained City Dwellers’, accounting for a population of 15,898 people or 2.4% of the total Leicestershire population.

Further analysis showed that only one of the sub groups of ‘Constrained City Dwellers’ (‘Challenged Diversity’) experienced a negative impact on crime levels overall from the implementation of part- lighting – accounting for an area of 7,154 people or 1.1% of the Leicestershire population. It is recommended that further work is undertaken to examine whether part-night lighting should be reviewed in areas where there has been a negative impact.

23 APPENDIX A

The findings of this study have been found to be similar to those in the recently published work by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Public Health Research Programme. They conducted a nationwide project in collaboration with all local authorities in England and Wales. The LANTERNS (Local Authority Collaborators’ National Evaluation of Reduced Night-time Streetlight) study, led by Dr Phil Edwards, found that reduced street lighting in England and Wales is not associated with crime. They also concluded that there was no association with road traffic collisions.

The study, led by researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in partnership with UCL, suggested that local authorities can safely reduce street lighting at night, saving energy costs and reducing carbon emissions.

However, it should be noted that this national study did not go into the same level of geographical segmentation and analysis by crime type, as covered in the Leicestershire study, which, as has been demonstrated, found negative impacts for some small geographical areas.

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR BLABY

7TH JUNE 2016

HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE STRATEGY AND POLICY REVIEW

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Purpose of the Report

1. To advise Members of the Forum of the need to review the County Council’s Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP), Highway Maintenance Strategy and Policy and Street Lighting Strategy and Policy documents, and to notify of the proposed public consultation that will support this review.

Background

2. The broad approach to maintaining the highway network and street-scene in Leicestershire is set out in the Transport Asset Management Plan document (TAMP), the Highway Maintenance Strategy and Policy document, and the Street Lighting Strategy and Policy document.

3. These documents are in need of review and update in order to take account of the substantial reductions in the budget available for maintenance and to ensure that they are consistent with a new national Code of Practice for highway maintenance due to be published this summer, currently available in draft form.

4. The revised TAMP will set out the process by which the Council will maintain its highways assets and will also help to inform and manage expectations about the likely levels of service, condition of highway and treatments to be applied across the network, providing a transparent process for deciding treatments and priorities.

5. This revision will allow the Council to:  define, quantify, validate and evaluate short and long-term maintenance strategies  calculate with more certainty the costs and benefits associated with maintenance strategies  ensure appropriate maintenance strategies, which ensure that as far as possible, the network meets the needs of users  ensure maintenance strategies are presented in a form that can be understood and communicated to all.

26

Budget

6. In 2009/10, the combined revenue and capital highway maintenance spend was £32.6 million, by 2020/21 it is currently forecast to be £16.5 million. When inflation is taken into account, this is a reduction of 78% and whilst much has been done to generate savings though efficiencies, it will not be possible to achieve this level of saving without reducing our service levels, concentrating on our statutory duties and making some difficult decisions about maintenance priorities.

7. Reductions in budgets will require a change to management of highway assets. For example, current levels of major resurfacing will not be achievable and it will be necessary to mitigate the network condition over longer periods through more extensive use of localised patching. This will require an alteration to the life cycle plans within the current TAMP and these changes and their impacts need to be supported by stronger evidence of the links between the condition of the network and selected treatments.

8. In addition, a significant portion of the capital maintenance grant is no longer allocated by the Department for Transport (DfT) on a simple formula basis but is distributed through two schemes known as the “Challenge Fund” and the “Incentive Fund”. Both these sources of funding incentivise and reward highway authorities that demonstrate a commitment to the on-going development of an asset management approach to service delivery.

9. The Council was successful in bidding for funding from the first round of the Challenge Fund, securing £5.1m over 3 years to support the street lighting LED replacement programme. Further Challenge Fund bids will be invited in 2017 and a successful bid will be expected to demonstrate the continued development of an asset management approach.

10. The Incentive Fund allocations will be made annually for five years from 2016/17, based upon a self-assessment and external audit. The assessment places highway authorities into one of three bands, depending on the authority’s ongoing commitment to asset management. The Council is currently assessed at the intermediate level 2 band in 2015/16 and with a commitment to developing our asset management strategy, it is realistic to expect the Authority to reach the highest level, band 3, by 2018/19.

11. Developing an asset management approach through a revision of the TAMP will support the progression to Band 3 and secure an additional £3.57m over the period via the Incentive Fund and will also increase the prospect of a second successful bid for Challenge Fund monies. This approach will ensure that the Council can maximise opportunities to deliver efficiencies and be flexible in adapting to future budget changes.

27

The New National Code of Practice for Highway Maintenance

12. The existing national code of practice for highway maintenance (“Well Maintained Highways”) will be replaced in summer 2016 by a new code; “Well Managed Highway Infrastructure”. The new code is currently available in draft format and, apart from some additional guidance, is not expected to change greatly.

13. The Council’s current Highway Maintenance Strategy and Policy documents are based on the existing national code of practice and will require review and update to ensure consistency with the new national code.

14. The new code departs fundamentally from the current code in its philosophy, placing a great deal of emphasis on developing local policies based firmly on an assessment of risk, rather than providing prescriptive standards. The Council therefore needs to develop a reliable local evidence base of network condition, linked to use, customer expectation, levels of funding, and the likelihood of detriment.

15. Most critically, the new national code will require a revised approach to defining defects and response times based on an assessment of risk. One of the key aims of the review will be to establish an intervention policy that focusses on delivering prompt response to those defects which pose the greatest risk whilst at the same time allowing a more considered and planned approach to the less critical defects.

16. For example, the Council currently applies a 3-day response time to all carriageway potholes over 40mm in depth, regardless of the risk they pose to users. This results in a high number of reactive repairs at sporadic locations, which is challenging to meet with current resources and results in high travel times for response vehicles and low outputs and productivity. It is not practical or financially viable to employ substantial plant for compaction or to keep materials in fresh condition for such small scale repairs. The Council operates specialised Road Mender vehicles which deliver small scale patch repairs, but this comes at a cost of between £80 and £120 per repair, compared with between £40 and £50 per m2 for conventional patch repairs. Furthermore, Road Mender repairs are likely, although not always, to be less durable than conventional patch repairs. Revised intervention and response times would focus swift interventions on defects that present the highest risk, whilst relaxing interventions for low risk defects, thus ensuring more cost effective and durable repairs.

Proposed Consultations

17. Initial engagement and consultation with stakeholders is an important part of the process for developing revised policies. This will also help to ensure that the Authority’s asset management strategy, highway maintenance and street lighting policies take account of customer expectations and deliver the most appropriate service levels consistent with the limitations of the budget and the need to build long-term resilience into the network.

28

18. The County Council’s Cabinet is therefore being asked to approve a full public consultation exercise which will run from early June 2016 to mid- September 2016.

19. The aim of the consultation will be to establish a detailed understanding of stakeholders’ perceptions of the current asset condition, priorities in terms of treatment (by type, across the network hierarchy, and acceptance of particular response times), repair quality and the impact of roadworks across the network hierarchy.

20. The consultation will cover maintenance of all elements of the highway asset, including carriageways, footways, cycleways, signs, Vehicle Activated Signs, traffic signals, traffic calming features (tables, cushions, coloured surfacing), line marking and road studs, drains, lighting, winter gritting, grass verges, shrub beds, trees, public rights of way (footpaths and bridleways) and field roads.

21. The consultation will seek views on the value and potential reduction, either by removal or downgrading, of certain highway assets such as bollards, fencing, low-use rural laybys, shrub beds, lighting, low-use rural footways, signs and field roads.

22. Opportunities for partnership working to achieve savings and maintain service levels will also be explored, for example by devolving minor local maintenance responsibilities to parish councils and community groups.

23. Linked to this and as an extension of the existing Snow Warden and Flood Warden Initiatives, the consultation will also seek views on the introduction of Parish Highway Wardens. This has the potential to provide an interface between the Council and local communities, undertaking minor maintenance duties (such as those outlined above), low level enforcement issues (such as notifying requirements for hedge-cutting), and condition reporting.

24. Responses to the consultation will provide a basis for developing the revised TAMP, policy revisions and maintenance strategies in a way that is appropriate to the needs of users and the realities of the Authority’s financial position.

25. Due to the complex range of issues to be considered by the consultation, the process will also include a series of workshops involving representative groups, as well as web-based engagement.

Timescale and Outcomes

26. It is intended to report back to the County Council’s Cabinet before the end of the calendar year, providing the outcomes from the consultation and making appropriate recommendations for the update of the TAMP and the strategy and policy documents with a view to implementing approved changes from April 2017.

29

Resource Implications

27. The review of the Council’s maintenance policies and strategy will support the efficiency savings required from the Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) and the corporate transformation process whilst utilising existing staffing.

28. The proposed consultation exercise will incur costs of between £10,000 and £20,000. This would include reference groups and analysis of the consultation. It is proposed that this will be funded from within the existing highway maintenance budget.

Equal Opportunities Implications

29. The review of Strategy and Policy will take account of the needs of all highway users and the consultation exercise will make provision for representative users to participate in the focus groups.

Recommendation

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

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR BLABY

7TH JUNE 2016

PROGRAMME OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT WORK - CURRENT POSITION

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Purpose of Report

1. To inform Members of the current status of the traffic management work programme.

Work Programmes

2. The programme and current status of traffic management work is summarised in the attached appendices:

Works Programme Appendix 2016/17 Schemes (all) A

Resource Implications

3. Traffic management schemes are funded from various sources:  The County Council’s traffic management revenue allocation – includes most schemes undertaken as a result of an enquiry;  Capital funding (County Council, Local Sustainable Transport Fund etc.) – planned area-wide work;  Developers – no resource implications;  Outside funding (individuals, parishes, districts etc) – those schemes that are unlikely to be rated high enough to justify County Council funding.

Equal Opportunities Implications

4. No direct implications have been identified.

Recommendation

5. Members are requested to note the content of this report.
