TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE 16 APRIL 2008

ROADS REVENUE PROGRAMME 2008/2009 PURPOSE OF

Report by Director of Technical Services REPORT To propose the Roads Revenue Programme for 2008/2009 for Members’ consideration.

COMPETENCE

1.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented.

1.2 Financial provision is contained within the Comhairle’s Roads Revenue Estimates for the 2008/2009 financial year which allow for the expenditure detailed in this report.

SUMMARY

2.1 Members are aware of the continuing maintenance programme undertaken to the roads network throughout the Comhairle’s area on an annual basis with these maintenance works including such items as resurfacing, surface dressing, and general repairs etc.

2.2 The Marshall Block shown in Appendix 1 summarises the proposed revenue expenditure under the various heads for the 2008/2009 financial year and the detailed programme is given in Appendix 2.

2.3 Members are asked to note that because of the unforeseen remedial works that may arise, minor changes may have to be carried out to the programme at departmental level throughout the course of the financial year.

2.4 As Members will be aware the road network has in the last twelve months deteriorated at a greater rate than usual. This is mainly due to the aging bitumen in the surface together with the high number of wet days in the last few months. As a result it is proposed that a proportion of the road surfacing budget be used for “Cut Out Patching.” Due to the rising cost of bitumen products and the stagnant nature of the budget it is not felt appropriate to look at longer sections of surfacing until the damage of the last twelve months has been repaired. The damage will be repaired by looking at the road in small segments for patching rather than the longer sections of surfacing as has been the practice in recent years.

2.5 The Comhairle in June 2007 approved a Capital Programme of road strengthening works to a value of £1,536k. This programme will be completed over the next few months. The balance of the £2m budget will be added to the newly approved road strengthening capital budget of £1.167m and following detailed examination of the Comhairle’s road network a further programme will be brought before the Committee for the August 2008 series.

RECOMMENDATION

3.1 It is recommended that the Comhairle approve the Roads Revenue Programme detailed at Appendix 1 to the Report for the 2008/2009 financial year on the basis that minor changes may be necessary at departmental level due to unforeseen remedial works and other uncertainties in programming.
