Summary 1.1 At the Council meeting of 28 February 2019, it was agreed to deliver a £40milion, five-year investment in Renfrewshire roads, cycling routes and pedestrian paths, representing the biggest ever investment of its kind. This will make journeys safer and easier, improve business connectivity, support development and town centre improvements and make it easier for visitors to enjoy Renfrewshire attractions. 1.2 The approach during 2019/20 will continue the progressive improvement of roads assets and fits with the asset management approach of seeking to reduce reactive revenue expenditure through prudent life cycle investment. 1.3 The focus for 2019/20 includes schemes within the strategic road network as well as roads of local significance with a presence in every town and village across Renfrewshire. A sustained effort will continue to ensure the highest quality of product will be used and contractors’ standards will be robustly monitored throughout the year. 1.4 There are a number of strategic roads where works are planned and as such, detailed communication plans will be developed for each of these to ensure stakeholder engagement is maintained going forward. 1.5 Prioritisation of the roads surfacing programme has been undertaken by matrix scoring the long list of schemes, through consideration of road maintenance inspections, route importance, feedback from local elected members and community input. 1.6 The proposed programme for 2019/20 consists of 95 roads across Renfrewshire benefitting from carriageway resurfacing and 57 footways will be resurfaced, with a further 31 roads being surface dressed or defects patched in advance of future resurfacing. This significant programme being 2 of 89 complemented by an ongoing programme of pothole repairs to continue the programme of reactive maintenance with an approach of permanent first time fix where possible. 1.7 Throughout the course of 2019/20 regular updates will be published on progress with the capital programme through the operational performance report submitted each period to the Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board. Although the programme is set for the year ahead, exceptional circumstances such as a change in road conditions or periods of severe weather can result in the programme being revised to reflect emerging priorities. In addition, there can be circumstances where capital schemes may come in under anticipated budget thereby providing scope for additional reserve projects to be included in the programme. The scheduling of the capital programme can be viewed on the Scottish Roadworks Register at Scottish Road Works Online. 2. Recommendations 2.1 For Members’ information only. 3. Background 3.1 At the Council meeting of 28 February 2019, it was agreed that the capital investment programme in the roads and footpath network for financial year 2019/20 would be £8.089 million, as part of a £40million investment programme to be delivered over a 5-year period. 3.3 This longer term approach to the roads capital programme will allow the planning to start for years 2,3 and 4 of the investment programme to continue to the progressive improvement of roads assets and fits with the asset management approach of seeking to reduce reactive revenue expenditure through prudent life cycle investment. 3.4 The proposed programme for 2019/20 has been prepared through prioritisation of a long list of locations requiring treatment. The majority of the roads and footway programme involves conventional resurfacing and tackles locations where this approach offers the most cost-effective long-term solution, however a variety of approaches will be utilised throughout the programme recognising a focus on quality long term repairs and a significant emphasis on post inspection regimes. 3.5 The Council has made significant investment in Renfrewshire’s roads; however, it is recognised that there are locations where further resurfacing works would be desirable. Where resurfacing works are not included in the programme for financial year 2019/2020, they will be captured on a priority basis, in future years. 3.6 The proposed programme consists of 95 roads across Renfrewshire benefitting from carriageway resurfacing and 57 footways being resurfaced, with a further 31 roads being surface dressed or defects patched in advance of future resurfacing, supported by a programme of pothole repairs. The details of the Roads and Footpath Capital Improvement Programme is set out at Appendix 1 of this report. 3.7 It is proposed that the resources in the capital investment programme for financial year for 2019/20 are allocated in accordance with the table below. 3 of 89 Road & Footpath Proposed Programme 2018/2019 Cost (m) Carriageway Resurfacing, Surface Treatment & Patching £6.500 Footway Resurfacing £0.750 Cycling Walking Safer Streets £0.239 Minor Improvement Schemes £0.250 Drainage & Ditching Improvements £0.250 Retention Costs £0.100 TOTAL £8.089 Implications of the Report 1.
