    PTE/14/58 Cabinet 10 September 2014 Transport Capital Programme 2014/15 and 2015/16 Report of the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment Please note that the following recommendations are subject to consideration and determination by the Cabinet (and confirmation under the provisions of the Council’s Constitution) before taking effect. Recommendations: That (a) approval is given to enhance the Place 2014/15 capital programme by £1,485,914 from developer contributions; approval is also given to enhance the 2015/16 capital budget by £154,000 from developer contributions and £3,700,000 from external grants; (b) current approved budgets are allocated to the schemes set out in this report; (c) of the enhancements above, £1,177,000 is forward funded to enable schemes to proceed in advance of the funding being received. 1. Background Cabinet approved an updated transport capital programme for 2013/14 and 2014/15 at its meeting in July 2013. Since that time there have been a number of new funding announcements and changes to allocations, in addition to re-profiled funding requirements for some schemes. This report updates the proposed programme for 2014/15 and 2015/16 but excludes maintenance schemes which are reported on separately to Cabinet. 2014/15 is considered to be a watershed year in the funding of capital transport projects. The County Council has been particularly successful in securing funding for a wide range of schemes in the last 12 months through a number of specific Department for Transport (DfT) competitions, including Linking Communities (Cycling in National Parks) and the Local Pinchpoint Fund.

  • Newsletter, Spring 2020
    Newsletter, Spring 2020 Hold It! In fact, everything is on hold apart from this newsletter which comes to you this spring just as it has for many a year. Inevitably we are disappointed that our winter talks had to be curtailed and any summer activities may be limited, depending on how the national situation develops. Nevertheless, at least we can continue to communicate news and ideas while maintaining social distancing. In the annual report sent out to you in preparation for the AGM, Chris detailed the highlights of 2019/20 from among which I should like to single out our partnership with the North Devon Coast AONB. Through a combination of site clearance by volunteers, sophisticated aerial photography and geophysical survey as well as excavation, all facilitated by a co-operation between landowners and tenants, the AONB, Devon County Historic Environment Service, Historic England and NDAS, it has been possible to advance the understanding and appreciation of important prehistoric, medieval and WW2 sites in a way which would scarcely have been feasible without such co-operation. It is especially satisfying to have been able to get to grips with Clovelly Dykes. For this we need to thank the landowner John Rous, the tenant Stephen Goaman and the Clovelly Estate for their support and co-operation. The AONB Coastal Heritage Project concludes this year, so at this point I should like to express our appreciation for the work of Joe Penfold and Dave Edgcombe whose efforts have been so productive in opening up to local people and to seasonal visitors the historic features to be found along our North Devon coast.
