1044. FUTURE HEALTH PROVISION - INCLUDING ST HELIER HOSPITAL
Stephen Waring, Programme Director for Better Health Care Closer to Home (BHCH), Andrew Grimes, Project Manager for Sutton was also in attendance.
Stephen Waring tabled a slide presentation and discussed Better Health Care Closer to Home and upgrading services which involved three main components.
• Upgrading St Helier Hospital to improve services • Developing four new health centres – two in Sutton and two in Merton • Increasing intermediate care to reduce hospitalisation.
It was reported that there would be £215 Million invested in the overall programme including St Helier Hospital’s development (c. £140 million) which included an urgent care centre dealing with minor injuries, intermediate and post operative care. A full Accident and Emergency service would continue at St Helier. One of
1005 Agenda Item 2 Page 2 St. Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee 9 December 2008
the four new health centres would be based at Shotfield Health Centre. A temporary clinic would be set up in Mint House, to provide decanting space for services whilst Shotfield was being developed.
The new health centre at Shotfield would be the first centre to be completed and would deal with minor injuries, minor procedures and also provide facilities for blood tests, ECGs, X-rays, community therapists and dentistry. The centre would be open for 12 hours per day and five days a week. Work on this facility should be complete in about 2 years time.
There would be voluntary sector support and community mental health care available at the new health clinics, which would deal with up to 50% of outpatients services and would be more accessible which would be a great improvement for the residents of the borough.
There was a proposal to demolish Ferguson House at St Helier Hospital to provide a new facility, which would house services such as a major new ward block and outpatient consulting rooms and other services such as coronary care, physiotherapy, cardiac rehabilitation, occupational therapy, pharmacy and the League of Friends. Currently Ferguson House holds two floors of nurses’ accommodation, one floor of offices and at least one floor of services to patients. These would all be re-sited but Mr Waring was unable to say where to, as the details had not yet been worked out.
This programme was very long term and therefore difficult to state timescales accurately. The Outline Business Case had been submitted and he expected approval within the next few months. The next stage would be the procurement and full Business Case, which was expected to take 18-24 months, and then construction would follow this. The local care centre at Wallington was on a faster track and was expected to be completed by 2010/11; the Nelson and the Wilson Hospitals were expected by 2012/13 and St Helier Hospital by 2016/17.
With regards to the Queen Mary’s Children’s Hospital it was explained that there was a review of Women’s and Children’s services across Epsom and St Helier Trust which meant that, in terms of this programme, plans were modest in that it was assumed there would be no change. However, all premises not in this programme would have their backlog maintenance brought up to date.
It was planned to dispose of the Sutton Hospital site and money from this would be used to pay for costs. This plan was not expected for another 8-10 years and in the meantime would be used as a temporary home for services that were moving from their present locations whilst upgrades were underway. This would mean that Sutton Hospital would also receive some internal upgrading to allow for this to happen. It was considered that Sutton Hospital site was not a viable option for the future.
It was explained that the Mental Health Trust would be running a major consultation exercise on the provision of mental health inpatient services. The Chiltern Wing and mental health services were not part of the programme being managed by the Primary Care Trust (PCT).
In response to questions and comments it was confirmed that: • A chiropody service would continue at Shotfield Centre. • Details could not be given on where women’s and children’s services would be located, as a major review was taking place of these services. The outcome of the review will be known in 2009. • The geographical plan used in the slides was indicative only and not set in stone. There was nothing planned for the grey triangular area on the plan. The grey area behind the main hospital building, on the plan, depicts old parts of the hospital that may be demolished. • That St Helier were projecting a surplus this year and had cleared their debt in the previous year.
1006 Page 3 Agenda Item 2 St. Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee 9 December 2008
• There would be a GP in all the local care centres as well as St Helier and the PCT would work with GPs who needed to upgrade their premises. • The impact of this programme on GPs would be easier referrals to hospital or outpatient services. • That services were more likely to move out of St George’s Trust and into Sutton and Merton – not the other way round. • The only services that were likely to be provided outside the area of the PCT would be highly specialised services such as stroke care.
Comments made that were to be taken back by Stephen Waring included: • That people living with rheumatoid arthritis would have a problem going anywhere other than St Helier for their injections. • That Ferguson house has 16 consulting rooms and not 15 as stated in the report. • Jean Crossby explained that the Green Lane Clinic had moved over and patients were promised all sorts of services that never materialised. • Jean Crossby explained that diabetic services used to be provided all under one roof and patients were now expected to travel to various venues for different services. Stephen Waring expressed his disappointment in hearing this and it was the opposite that the PCT were aiming at. He invited Jean to take part in the planning process for diabetic services.
Resolved: (i) To thank Stephen Waring for his attendance.
(ii) To request that Stephen Waring take back the points raised by committee as listed in the body of the minute.
Councillor John Drage declared a personal interest in that he was a non-executive director for the PCT.
Councillor Sue Stears declared a personal interest as she works at St Helier Hospital.
The meeting was adjourned at 20.15pm for a 10 minute comfort break and reconvened at 20.25pm.
1045. CONSULTATION ON THE COUNCIL'S BUDGET 2009/10
Sue Higgins, Strategic Director of Resources and Councillor John Drage, Executive Member for Resources, explained the process for this year’s budget consultation and explained some of the proposals for extra spending i.e. waste disposal and areas for budget reductions. The council tax level had not yet been set but there was a policy commitment to an increase of 3.4% or lower.
The consultation period ends on 27 January. The Executive would take representations at their meeting on 13 January 2009. The Executive would then consider the council tax and budget in February 2009 which would then go on to full Council on 1 March for approval.
The consultation leaflet received praise from one member of the public as being well set out and clear.
There were various questions from the public which received responses and all were encouraged to complete the consultation forms and hand them in before they left the meeting.
Resolved: To thank Sue Higgins and Councillor Drage for presenting their report and responding to questions and to thank Nic Wilson who also attended the meeting for the Communications Team.
1007 Agenda Item 2 Page 4 St. Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee 9 December 2008
1046. AREA IMPROVEMENTS - PUBLIC REALM
Rick Martinez, Locality Lead Officer, presented his update report on the public realm projects. Some of the schemes have been completed which was good news.
Further updates since the report went out included: • The Thomas Wall chain link fencing would be completed by end of January. • Royston Park – provision of wooden posts would be started this week. • The Quad fencing had not been completed. Waiting to hear when the contractor can come and complete the full run of fencing requested. • Green Lane trees were beginning to be planted. • There would be a more detailed report to come to the next meeting of this committee.
Councillor Kane spoke of the mistakes made with The Quad fencing and barrier and requested that ward councillors be notified as soon as possible as to what was going on.
Councillor Kane also requested to know why several projects were still listed for further consultation and requested to know who would be doing the consultation, with whom and for what reason as it was his belief that enough consultation had already taken place.
Rick Martinez confirmed that 30 metres of fence had not been provided at the Quad and would be taking this forward. With regard to the projects requiring further consultation he explained that these were projects where details of what exactly was required, needed to be agreed so that they could be properly costed. There was also ongoing discussion at the council regarding revenue costs of hanging baskets but it was hoped to have a response at the next meeting.
Councillor Drage commented that for several meetings he has raised that issue of barriers along the Wandle Trail by Buckhurst Avenue and that at the last meeting it was agreed to ask the police if they would have any designing out crime budget to put towards it. The scheme was also not on the list put before committee.
Resolved: (i) To request that Rick Martinez liaises with appropriate officers to get some target dates put into the programme.
(ii) To request that Rick Martinez liaises with appropriate officers to correct the fencing at The Quad.
(iii) To request that Rick Martinez adds the Wandle Trail barriers to the list of projects if there were no alternative methods of funding the scheme.
1047. SAFER NEIGHBOURHOOD TEAMS - UPDATE
The Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) had not been able to attend this meeting but Inspector Fleeman had given the Chair some information they wished to be relayed.
Operation Astral which was an operation to curb anti social behaviour calls from Halloween and over the Guy Fawkes period. There had been 30% reduction in calls on last year’s operation and 60% reduction on the year before that (the first year of Operation Astral).
From 5 January 2009 some SNT sergeants were moving to new wards. Sgt Nicholson would be leaving for Carshalton Central, Sgt Reilly would leaving for Beddington North and Sgt Crane would remain at The Wrythe SNT.
1008 Page 5 Agenda Item 2 St. Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee 9 December 2008
The new sergeants would be Sgt Dave Glennon for St Helier SNT and Sgt Tom O’Donoghue for Wandle Valley SNT. It was hoped that both would attend the next local committee to introduce themselves.
Resolved: To note.
1048. WEST STREET 20MPH ZONE EXTENSION
The Chair explained that this item was deferred as there were ongoing discussions about changes to the road system around Wrythe Green which included West Street.
Resolved : To note.
1049. ANY URGENT BUSINESS BROUGHT FORWARD AT THE DIRECTION OF THE CHAIR
St Helier Estate – box bathrooms
Jean Crossby had raised concerns about the progress of works on the refurbishment of box bathrooms in the St Helier area and that residents did not feel informed.
Resolved: To have this as an agenda item for the next meeting of this committee and to invite Sutton Housing Partnership to attend.

St. Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee - 10 February 2009
Report of the Executive Head of Planning and Transportation
NIGHTINGALE ROAD - PETITION FOR TRAFFIC CALMING
Ward Location: The Wrythe Author(s) and Contact Phone Number(s): Ray Puddy - 020 8770 6127 Area Served: St. Helier, The Wrythe Executive Councillor: Councillor Colin Hall and Wandle Valley
Report for Information only
Summary This report informs Members of a petition from residents of Nightingale Road expressing concern and anger about speeding vehicles and seeking the introduction of some traffic calming. Recommendations I recommend to Committee that it notes the contents of the petition and:- 1. that funds will be needed to process this report any further. 2. that funds are sought to permit modifications to be made to the carriageway markings and traffic signs on Nightingale Road as identified within paragraph 4.3 of this report. 3. that future funds are sought from Transport for London to introduce more robust traffic calming measures. 4. that the Executive Head of Planning & Transportation, in consultation with the Chair and Ward Councillors, be given delegated authority to proceed with proposals that achieve a favourable support and within any budget allocation made available.
1. Background 1.1 The 2007/2008 Local Implementation Plan Transport Settlement included funding for a Local Safety Scheme in Nightingale Road and Hackbridge Road. However due to, initially with Hackbridge Bridge reconstruction project, and later with staff resource difficulties, the scheme proceeded no further than the outline planning stage. Consequently the funding was withdrawn by T fL. 1.2 A petition has now been presented to the Council that states “We the undersigned call upon the Police and the Council to reduce traffic speeds in Nightingale Road, Carshalton before there are any further serious accidents and improve conditions for residents of the road and adjacent areas”
1 Agenda Item 3 Page 8
1.3 The petition contained a total of 54 signatures, made up as follows:- 28 residents from 22 households in Nightingale Road 10 residents from 8 households in Cooper Crescent 16 residents from 16 households in Bucklers Way 1.4 These households are clustered at the lower end of Nightingale Road
2. Issues 2.1 Current site conditions 2.1.1 Results of a traffic survey undertaken in January are shown in Appendix 1. Traffic volumes are not disproportionally high for this class of road. The figures show the normal peak distribution of traffic between 8 - 9am and 5 - 6pm. 2.1.2 Average vehicular speeds during the normal working day ranged from 31.7mph to 35.7mph. Higher figures were recorded much later in the evening when there were fewer cars on the road. 2.1.3 The latest three-year accident statistics available show there have been 6 personal injury accidents in Nightingale Road, with a further two in Hackbridge Road. Outline details of these are given in Appendix 2 attached to this report. This accident rate is not significantly high compared with similar roads throughout the Borough. 2.1.4 Of the six accidents on Nightingale Road speed was directly identified as a causation factor in two incidents, although it may also had a bearing on two more. The remaining two accidents were due to a defective vehicle and poor driving techniques, and no amount of traffic calming measures would prevent these from happening.
2.2 Officer Comment 2.2.1 This accident rate is not significantly high compared with similar roads throughout the Borough. However, those that have occurred were no doubt disconcerting to local householders. 2.2.2 Currently the Council has no funds to introduce traffic calming measures on Nightingale Road. Notwithstanding this, a site inspection has taken place and possible measures have been identified should funds become available. 2.2.3 The current timetable for Hackbridge Bridge Reconstruction Scheme, indicates that the construction work is planned to start in October 2009 and be completed late 2010. Hackbridge Road ard Nightingala Road are designated as an alternative and a temporary diversion route. The diversionary works for some Utility Plants may commence in summer 2009. 2.2.4 Possible low cost measures The use of carriageway marking and good quality traffic signs can have a distinctive effect on the speed of traffic. Such measures are generally quite simple and quick to implement but more importantly can have an immediate effect of driver behaviour. For example:-
2 Page 9 Agenda Item 3
• Parking on the south side of Nightingale Road between Bucklers Way and Culvers Way restricts Carshalton bound traffic movements while Hackbridge bound traffic runs freely. Marking out the parking area and adjustment of the centre line carriageway marking would have the visual effect of reducing the traffic lanes which, in turn, will reduce the speed of Hackbridge bound movements. • Internally illuminated “Bend” signs already exist on Nightingale Road either side of the Strawberry Lane junction. Replacing these with a Diamond Grade reflective sign on a high visibility background would make these signs more prominent and visible during both, day light and after dark. Associated with this the carriageway markings should be renewed and the centre line increased in width from its current 100mm (4”) to 150mm (6”).
These suggested measures are located within the vicinity of the main cluster of accidents on Nightingale Road. They would make vehicle drivers more aware of road conditions, which should in turn lead to a general reduction in vehicular speed.
2.2.5 Possible Medium Cost measure The original outline proposal for Nightingale Road included introducing a mini- roundabout at its junction with Strawberry Lane. Such roundabouts work best when there have balanced traffic flows on all arms. Howevere, traffic movements in and out of Strawberry Lane are not of the consistency that would achieve anything other than a minor reduction of speed. A further suggestion is the provision of a set of pedestrian refuges in the vicinity of Rossignol Gardens.
2.2.6 Higher Cost measures To make any proposed mini-roundabout at the Strawberry Lane junction operate effectively as a speed reducing / traffic calming feature it should be place on a junction speed table. A further speed table could be placed on the existing Zebra Crossing in Nightingale Road near Cooper Crescent. The combination of these two sets of vertical deflection features would create a “gateway” feature and have a significant impact on vehicle speed.
3. Financial Implications 3.1 As noted above, currently there are no funds avaiable to undertake any of these suggestions. 3.2 Modifications to the traffic signs and carriageway markings should cost no more than £7000. 3.3 The implementation of a mini-roundabout at Strawberry Lane on a speed table and the provision of a speed table on the existing Zebra Crossing by Coopers Crescent could cost in excess of £25,000. 3.4 It would be necessary to seek funding from Transport for London to implement these suggestions.
3 Agenda Item 3 Page 10
4. Influence of the Council’s Core Values 4.1 The proposed measures will help to provide a safer environment for those living in the area and will contribute to the achievement of the Council’s accident reduction targets. 4.2 The scheme will cater for all sections of the community
5. Equality Impact Assessment The proposals to buid the zebra crossing on raised table will provide a better access for disabled and people with prams or push chairs. It promotes social inclusion by ensuring good and safer access to local amenities. 6.

Report of the Head of Planning, Transportation and Highways
PROPOSED WANDLE GATEWAYS IMPROVEMENT SCHEME
Ward Location: Various Author(s) Jeff Wilson (x6258) Area Served: Borough-wide
Report for Decision
Summary Viridor Waste Management Ltd has kindly agreed to assign part of its landfill tax receipt under the Landfill Communities Fund programme to fund 90% of the cost of an access/enviromental improvement scheme along the River Wandle, with a 10% contribution from the Council. This Report outlines the scope of proposed improvements and the arrangements under which the improvement works will be implemented. Recommendations I recommend the Committee to: a. record its thanks to Viridor Waste Management on behalf of the Council for assigning £270,000 of its landfill tax receipts to this project; b. approve the Wandle Gateways Improvement Scheme; c. approve the allocation of £13,500 in respect of the Beddington and Wallington Local Committee Public Realm funding as a contribution to the project. d. approve the allocation of £13,500 in respect of the St Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee Public Realm funding as a contribution to the project. 1. Background 1.1 Under the Landfill Communities Fund programme, the Government allows 90% of the landfill tax that is raised on the disposal of waste at landfill sites and paid by landfill operators to be used to fund environmental projects in the vicinity of landfill sites. The funding for environmental projects must be paid to an approved ‘environmental body’ for spending on environmental projects. All environmental bodies – typically organisations with charitable trust status – must be registered with the Government’s regulatory body, ‘EnTrust’, which has been set up to oversee the Landfill Communities Fund programme. 1.2 In discussions with Viridor Waste Management, which manages the Beddington Landfill site, the company has agreed to assign part of its landfill tax receipts to the 1 Agenda Item 4 Page 16
implementation of an access/environmental improvement scheme along the River Wandle and nominate Global to Local Foundation, as a registered environmental body, to oversee the implementation of the works. To secure the funding for this project, a third party, such as the Council, must provide a contribution of 10% of the total grant allocation for the project to Viridor Waste Management Ltd. 1.3 The Council has successfully undertaken a number of environmental schemes under the Landfill Communities Fund programme in the past, including improvements to Beddington Village Hall, Mellows Park, Elms Pond and Watercress Park. 2. The Wandle Gateways Improvement Scheme 2.1 The Sutton UDP seeks to protect the River Wandle as a ‘green corridor’ for nature conservation, amenity and leisure, for its landscape value and for a walkway and cycleway. The Sutton Local Development Framework proposes the creation of a new Wandle Valley Regional Park within South London, which would include the River Wandle and all adjoining parks open spaces and footpath/cycleway linkages along the Wandle riverside from Wandsworth to Sutton and Croydon. 2.2 Within Sutton, the Council is proposing the implementation of proposals for improved provision for recreation and leisure along the River Wandle, for protecting and enhancing the River Wandle for wildlife and biodiversity and for extending/improving cycling and walking along the Wandle Trail. 2.3 These proposals are set out in the Wandle Strategy and Action Plan, which was approved by the Council in March 1997 and involved environmental improvements at some 18 key sites along the River Wandle, which are ‘gateways’ to the Wandle Trail and provide access from surrounding residential areas. 2.4 The Wandle Gateways Improvement Scheme, which was submitted for consideration under the Landfill Communities Fund programme was developed from the proposals set out in the Wandle Strategy and Action Plan, with a view to improving access to the River Wandle for residents and visitors for recreation and leisure, improving the environment and public amenity of the open spaces along the River Wandle and enhancing the nature conservation and biodiversity value of this stretch of the River Wandle. In addition the scheme would form part of the creation and long-term development of the Wandle Valley Regional Park and establish an identity for the Regional Park. 2.5 The scheme focuses on 8 key sites along the River Wandle: • Goat Road, Budge Lane, Buckhurst Avenue and Culvers Avenue within the Hackbridge area, and; • Guy Road, Hilliers Lane, Richmond Green and Cedars Road within the Beddington area. 2.6 The proposed treatments at these gateway sites will reflect the appropriate character of each site, utilising materials, planting and signage in keeping with the surroundings. In dealing with local access issues, proposed treatments for particular sites include the need for additional railings, access management, surfacing, provision of seating/amenities, planting, etc and erection of signs and information boards. 2.7 The scheme has been submitted to EnTrust for approval under the Landfill Communities Fund programme. The total cost of the scheme, including design and
2 Page 17 Agenda Item 4
supervision and EnTrust’s on-costs for administering the Landfill Communities Fund programme is £270,000. 2.8 Under the arrangements agreed with Viridor, the detailed design, tender preparation, the letting of the contract and supervision of works would be carried by Global to Local Foundation in accordance with the Council’s standing Orders and on behalf of the Council. The project management and administration would be undertaken by Global to Local Foundation on behalf of EnTrust. 2.9 Maintenance of the improvement works over the first three years would be undertaken as part of the part of the contract. However, all of the sites are under the responsibility of the Council to maintain, and while the increased future maintenance costs arising from the improvement scheme will be minimal, the Parks Service currently maintains open spaces along the Wandle Trail and there is funding from Transport for London for the maintenance of cycleways, including the Wandle Trail. 2.10 The Business Plan submitted to Viridor Ltd for the Wandle Gateways Improvement Scheme also suggests that the Council seeks to attract additional revenue funding for maintenance from new advertising hoarding sites close to the Wandle Trail. The site at Budge Lane, in particular, is visible from Middleton Road and close to the Wandle Valley and the Willow Lane Trading Estates and could generate significant income for maintaining gateway sites within the Borough. 2.11 In the longer term, the future management and maintenance of the Wandle Trail and these gateway sites should be determined through the agreed proposals for the creation and development of the Wandle Valley Regional Park 2.12 It is proposed that the Council’s contribution of £27,000 towards the cost of the Wandle Gateway Improvements Scheme should be met equally from the Public Realm budget for the St Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley and the Beddington and Wallington committees. 3. Financial Implications 3.1 The total cost of the proposed scheme is £270k. 3.2 90% of the total cost of the scheme is to be funded by Landfill Tax Receipts that have been assigned by Viridor Waste Management Ltd and LBS is required to provide a third party contribution of £27k. 3.3 The LBS element is to be funded from the Public Realm Capital Programme that has been allocated to the Local Committees. The scheme involves investment in two local committee areas and the contribution of £27k is to be split equally between Beddington and Wallington Local Committee and St Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley Local Committee. 4. Influence of the Council’s Core Values 4.1 Carrying out this improvement scheme is a wise investment for the future. It will improve access by foot and cycle and provide better access to recreation and leisure facilities for residents, making the Council’s services open and accessible. 5. Contribution to the Achievement of the Council’s Policy Aims 5.1 The scheme will help to encourage walking and cycling, provide better access to recreation and leisure facilities and significantly enhance the quality of the environment within the Wandle Valley Corridor, and willtherefore contribute to the
3 Agenda Item 4 Page 18
Council’s aim of Achieving Environmental Sustainability and will help with the Council’s aim of Achieving Social Inclusion. 6. Equality Impact Assessment 6.1 Environmental improvements along the River Wandle should assist regeneration of the Wandle Valley Corridor and provide significant opportunities for improvements for the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of all groups within the local community. The Wandle Gateway Improvements Scheme should enable more equal access to recreation and leisure facilities within Borough for all groups, particularly for those with disabilities.

Recommendations I recommend the Local Committee note the public consultation arrangements set out in this Report.
1. Background 1.1 The draft Hackbridge Masterplan has been prepared to provide a framework for the future development of the Hackbridge area and inform policies put forward for Hackbridge in the Council’s new Local Development Framework for the Borough. 1.2 In addition the Masterplan forms part of the wider ‘Hackbridge Initiative’, where Hackbridge will be promoted as flagship sustainable regeneration project in line with the aspirations of the Borough’s ‘One Planet Living’ and emerging Sustainablity Action Plan. 1.3 Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design were commissioned to produce a draft Hackbridge Masterplan, the key elements of which are: • An overall urban design framework for the Hackbridge neighbourhood as a whole, dealing with land use, movement, landscape and open space and public realm improvements; • Individual development briefs for five strategic sites as identified in the Local Development Framework: Felnex Trading Estate, former Kelvin House site, Land North of Hackbridge Station, Land North of BedZed and the Wandle Valley Trading Estate 1.4 In preparing the draft Masterplan, ‘stakeholder’ workshops were held with the local community, landowners and business representatives in September 2008 on the future possibilities for Hackbridge to gauge local opinion at the early stage of the process. The workshops built on the significant amount of public consultation on the future of Hackbridge that had already undertaken, including Hackbridge Week earlier in the year. The feedback was generally very supportive of the principles put forward. 1.5 The Consultants and council officers have also met with the landowners of each of the strategic sites to get an understanding of landowners’ aspirations for the development of 1 Agenda Item 9 Page 20
individual sites and of the wider Hackbridge neighbourhood. 1.6 The Planning Advisory Group at the 24 November 2008 meeting resolved unanimously to endorse the draft Hackbridge Masterplan for public consultation and to be regarded as a material consideration for development control purposes. 1.7 The draft Masterplan will be finalised following the public consultation and will be taken forward in the preparation of the Local Development Framework, which will provide detailed statutory guidance on the future development of Hackbridge.

GRANT FUNDING FOR TRANSPORT SCHEMES 2009/2010 (LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FUNDING)
Ward Location: Not Applicable Author(s) and Contact Phone Numbers: Area Served: Borough-Wide Paul Blunt 020 8770 6445 Lead Councillor: Councillor Colin Hall
Executive Decision Report
Summary The Council has been advised by Transport for London (TfL) of the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Funding for 2009/10. L.B. Sutton has been allocated a grant of £5,275,000 for 2009/10, plus £77,600 through SWELTRAC towards transport schemes. In addition, £1,578,000 has been committed for ongoing schemes into 20010/11 and £425,000 for 2011/12. Any LIP schemes that have been committed under the 2008/9 programme, but are uncompleted by 31/3/09 will take priority over new schemes. Recommendations I recommend the Committee to: a. Note the 2009/10 LIP funding settlement and the programme for which TfL has agreed the grant. b. Agree the list of schemes relevant to this Local Committee. c. Delegate to the Executive Head Planning & Transportation, in consultation with the Chair and Ward Councillors to agree details of individual schemes. 1. Background 1.1 The Council submitted its Local Implementation Plan Reporting and Funding Submission (LIP RFS) for 2009/10 to TfL last June in accordance with guidance issued earlier in the year. The LIP RFS system is used as a basis for allocating capital funding to London local authorities for roads, transport, traffic and other highway related matters. The Council was required to prioritise its proposals in various topics as part of the bid. 1.2 Package bids were submitted on behalf of Sutton through the London Bus Priority Network (LBPN) partnership, the London Cycle Network (LCN+) partnership and through
1 Agenda Item 11 Page 28
the South and West London Transport Conference (SWELTRAC) sub regional partnership. 2. Issues 2.1 TfL announced the settlement on 20 th November 2008. They have made a funding allocation to Sutton under several discrete topic headings totalling £5,352,600 for 2009/10 with a commitment of £1,578,000 for 2010/11 and £425,000 for 2011/12. 2.2 This years settlement of £5,352,600 represents an increase of 22% on last year’s settlement of £4,388,000 and is well above the average for London Boroughs. The increase is primarily due to funding for the Sutton Town Centre Regeneration Scheme. However, funding for Beddington Lane has increased and there is additional funding for the Wallington Integrated Transport Package Project. TfL managers of the respective LIP programmes have assessed boroughs’ funding applications based on the priorities indicated by the boroughs, the available funding from TfL’s 2009/10 Business Plan and the criteria set out within the LIP Annual Progress Reporting Guidance 2009/10 – 2010/11. Allocations for Principal Road Renewal, Bridge Assessment & Strengthening, Area Based Schemes, Road Safety and Bus Priority schemes continue to be strongly influenced by the application of needs-based considerations. These transport areas account for about 60% of allocated funding. Therefore, the total amount allocated to a borough is greatly influenced by the need for such work. 2.3 Details of the 2009/10 allocations are listed in the Appendix and summarised as follows: Principal Road Maintenance and Bridge Structures 2.4 TfL have allocated £120,000 for maintenance of on the Principal Road Network. This covers a section of the A237 London Road. £1,510,000 has been allocated for strengthening of Hackbridge Railway Bridge. Road Safety & 20mph zones 2.5 An allocation of £693,000 for local safety schemes has been made. TfL have specified the individual Local Schemes in the settlement from the list prioritised in our bid. Larger schemes identified are Stanley Park Road (£100,000), Bishopsford/Middleton Rd junction (£70,000), High St/Oakhill Rd (£160,000), Thornton Road (£50,000), STEPS Zones 18 (£60,000) and 37 (£50,000). £40,000 has been allocated for education, training and publicity. 2.6 An allocation of £267,000 has been made for implementation of three 20 mph zones in the following areas: a). STEPS Zone 40 (Beddington). b). STEPS Zone 7 (Cheam Village). c). STEPS Zone 19 (Carshalton, north of Ruskin Road). Walking and Cycling 2.7 £144,000 has been allocated for Walking to fund the design and consultation on the Wallington Integrated Transport Package and the pedestrian/cycle/equestrian crossings in Woodmansterne Road near Diamond Riding School. 2.8 £234,000 has been allocated for cycling schemes on the London Cycle Network (LCN+). Schemes include Sutton Town Centre (£75,000), Green Lane, Morden (£79,000), and Rose Hill/High Street (£80,000). A further allocation of £302,000 has been made for cycling in addition to the LCN+ allocation, principally to cover design and consultation on the Wallington Integrated Transport Package, the Toucan crossing in Woodmansterne Road by Oaks Track, a contraflow facility in Brunswick Road, and alterations to allow cyclists through the road closures in Carshalton Park Rd and Westcroft Road. Funding for cycle parking (£60,000) and cycle roadcraft training (£108,000) have increased considerably form last year. Funding for Cycling on Greenways is expected to be announced in March. Buses
2 Page 29 Agenda Item 11
2.9 £287,000 has been allocated for Bus Priority schemes. The allocation is for schemes at various locations including Woodcote Road, Wallington (£40,000), Kimpton Road (£45,000), Marlowe Way (£40,000) and Station Approach, Wallington (£40,000). 2.10 £74,000 has been allocated for Bus Accessibility Schemes principally to improve access at bus stops on a number of routes. The allocation for bus priority is better than last year. Schemes over £50,000 are subject to a cost/benefit analysis. School Travel Plans, Workplace Travel Plans and Travel Awareness 2.11 An allocation of £384,000 has been made for School Travel Plans. This includes a Safe Routes to Schools scheme at St Mary’s RC, Carshalton, two school travel advisers, various travel promotion schemes including Walk to School Once a Week (WOW), Theatre in Education and Transition Packs giving travel advice to parents etc. 2.12 Workplace Travel Plans has been given an allocation of £80,000. Travel Awareness did not receive an allocation. Regeneration, CPZ’s, Environment and Local Area Accessibility 2.13 £200,000 has been allocated to cover further work on the Beddington Lane improvement scheme. £45,000 has been given to produce initial designs and consult on Controlled Parking Zones for Worcester Park, Belmont Village and Carshalton Beeches. £60,000 has been allocated under the Environment heading, £30,000 will be used to fund air quality monitoring. £65,000 has been allocated for Local Area Accessibility. Details are to be agreed with TfL. Town Centres. 2.14 An allocation of £670,000 for 2009/10 and a commitment of £600,000 for 2010/11 have been made for the Sutton Town Centre Regeneration scheme. SWELTRAC 2.15 The SWELTRAC settlement includes £80,000 for improvements to the Kimpton Strategic Industrial Area. However, this allocation will be reduced by 3% to cover the management and administration provided by SWELTRAC (revised total £77,600). Our bid for a station access scheme at Wallington was approved last year to progress to detailed design and consultation. Subject to further approval by TfL, it is likely to be funded for implementation using the SWELTRAC budget (Estimated costs £400,000). Local Transport Funding 2.16 £100,000 has been allocated to each borough to spend on the transport priorities of their choice. This is on a trial basis and proposals must be broadly consistent with the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. Comments 2.17 The total settlement for the 33 London Boroughs this year is £168m. The average for each borough is therefore £5.09m. Sutton’s settlement of £5.3526m is in the top five allocations across London boroughs. Per a head of population the allocation is in the top three with only City of London (population 8000) and LB Richmond being higher. This is principally due to the allocation for the Sutton Town Centre regeneration project and the Hackbridge railway bridge reconstruction. 2.18 TfL is working with Boroughs to reform the current LIP funding processes and reduce bureaucracy. Council officers and members have had two meetings with Peter Hendy, London’s Transport Commissioner, to lobby for greater flexibility in the process to allow Sutton to create the Smarter Travel Sutton (STS) legacy project ‘Enabling Smarter Travel Choices’. Building on the success of STS, Integrated Transport Packages will be implemented across the Borough starting in Wallington. TfL have committed substantial funds for this project over the next three years (£919,000 in total). Joint branding is no longer a requirement and delegated powers to shift funds between programmes have increased. London Council’s Transport and Environment Committee has set up a working group to address bureaucracy in the TfL/borough relationship. In future years it is proposed to reduce the number of programmes from 20 plus to only 5 for 2010/11 onwards. 3 Agenda Item 11 Page 30
2.19 As in previous years, any schemes not completed during the previous year will have to be funded from these allocations before they can be used for new schemes. 3. Financial Implications 3.1 Transport for London (TfL) provides, through the Local Implementation Plan Reporting and Funding Submission System (LIP RFS), financial support for borough schemes intended to improve the quality, safety and accessibility of the local travelling environment. On 20 th November 2008, the Major of London announced that support of £168m for Local Implementation Plans (LIPs) was to be included in the TfL Budget and Business Plan for 2009/10. This represents a 4.3% increase over the equivalent figure for 2008/09. 3.2 Based on an annual LIP Reporting and Funding Submission by Sutton, the Mayor announced that for 2009/10 Sutton will receive £5,275K of funding from TfL (including £1,510K for London Road, Hackbridge bridge strengthening) to tackle a range of issues from reducing road casualties to supporting town centre regeneration. This is an increase of £935K (22%) over the corresponding figure of £4,340K (including £1,520K for London Road, Hackbridge bridge strengthening) for 2008/09. Excluding the Hackbridge scheme, the allocation for 2009/10 is £3,765K compared to £2,820K for 2008/09, representing an increase of 34%. In addition to these figures, there is £78K (2008/09 £48K) from TfL’s allocation to the South and West London Transport Conference (SWELTRAC). 3.3 The 2009/10 settlement for Sutton includes funding, as detailed above, for key local schemes aimed at reducing pollution, town centre regeneration, bridge works on London Road, Hackbridge, improvements to the Kimpton Strategic Industrial Area, reducing road casualties and tackling the school run. 3.4 The Capital Programme has been amended to include the funding allocated by TfL. Financial provision has been released and approval is now sought from Local Committees, so that schemes for which funding has been allocated may proceed. 4. Influence of the Council’s Core Values 4.1 LIP schemes contribute to the following council Core Values: Working in Partnership , as schemes are developed in partnership with TfL and others; Involvement in Decisions , as schemes are developed in consultation with residents and other stakeholders; Accessible Services , as schemes are designed to be fully accessible to all and provide access to key services; High Quality, Cost effective Services , as schemes are designed to be cost effective and yet high quality; Equality , as schemes are designed to cater for all sections of the population and take account of the needs of disabled and minority groups; Investing Wisely for the Future , as schemes are designed to maintain infrastructure in a good condition to avoid future problems, and schemes are designed to reduce the long term environmental damage caused by motorised transport in line with the Councils One Planet Living pledge. 5. Contribution to the Council’s Corporate Action Plans Safety Schemes, Bus Priority, Travel Awareness, Cycling and Walking Schemes will contribute to long term environmental sustainability. Bus Stop Accessibility and. Environmental schemes (e.g. air monitoring) will promote community well being. 6. Equalities Impact Assessment Accessibility schemes including bus stop improvements will promote social inclusion and full accessibility for all residents particularly disabled people, older people and young people. Safe Routes to School schemes will improve safety for children. Tactile paving facilities will be provided for visually impaired people. 7. Background Papers LIP RFS Submission 2009/10, LIP Funding letter and enclosure dated 20 Nov. 2008. 8. Appendix Allocations for specific schemes together with original bid information.
