Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

1. SUMMARY

1.1 This report updates the Committee on West Yorkshire Combined Authority activities in relation to developing and delivering the projects of the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund (WY+TF), with specific focus on the Bradford elements of the programme, and examines the implications of recent changes to governance arrangements on deliverability of those elements. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 WYCA was formally created on the 1 st April 2014 and brings together Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield and York councils and the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) as a local government body and unified force for economic growth. In doing so it supports local prosperity, wellbeing and resilience. WYCA works with private and public sector partners to raise the quality of life across the sub and city region through business growth, job creation, a trained and skilled workforce and the building of new and affordable homes, underpinned by a modern, integrated transport network. 2.2 In relation to the delivery of transport transformation WYCA has established a Transport Committee through which it conducts the majority of Local Transport Authority functions and an Investment Committee which provides strategic guidance in relation to the investment in and funding of transport and economic development schemes. 2.3 WYCA has a legal duty to maintain a Local Transport Plan for West Yorkshire. The Local Transport Plan 2011-26 with its current Implementation Plan provides the core focuses on transport matters with work underway to create a Single Transport Plan for 2021-2036 further details of which are subject to a separate report to this committee. 2.4 WYCA together with the LEP are also contributing to a range of Northern and Transpennine developments including Transport for the North (TfN). TfN is a partnership with the government and city regions in the North, Highways England, Network Rail and the company that is to create the next phase of High Speed Rail infrastructure (HS2). Rail North is the new rail franchising partnership between the government and the northern transport authorities. Department for Transport and Rail North are in the process of re-letting the Northern and Transpennine Express Rail franchises to commence in 2016. Strategic rail issues e.g. Calder Valley Electrification, Long Term Rail Strategy, Franchising Proposals, HS2 and HS3 development are key areas of activity. The Connecting the Northern Powerhouse Blueprint was published in August 2015 and the Council is undertaking further development work on the following priorities for the City: a) Bradford’s positioning as a transport hub and maximising benefits from High Speed Rail & East-West connectivity; b) Rail North & reaffirming the case for Calder Valley Line electrification;

ENV1DECDOCV 2 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 2

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

c) Improved connectivity to the airport via a rail / tram train link; and d) DfT / Rail North new Northern and Transpennine Express franchises February 2016. 3. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 The following paragraphs provide detailed progress on WY+TF projects which are specific to the Bradford District: Harrogate Road / New Line Junction (Greengates) 3.2 This project is the most advanced of the ‘early win’ projects within the Bradford District. The single option selection approval (Gateway 1) was achieved on 12 December 2014 with WYCA and confirmed by the Council’s Executive in January 2015, since which progression of detailed design and refinement of the business case to Gateway 2 has commenced. An overview of the Gateway Approval process is included in Appendix 1. 3.3 A key part of the Gateway 2 application is confirmation that all statutory powers and processes have been completed and are in place to confirm that the project’s delivery is viable. These processes include securing of planning permission and confirmation that the ownership of all land required for the junction proposal is in the Council’s control – either by negotiation or via CPO powers. 3.4 Negotiations with affected land and property owners have commenced and the Council have appointed Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) to act as property and CPO advisors to assist in this aspect of the project through the existing WYCA framework. Being located in a built up community centre the negotiations with retail and commercial businesses together with residential property owners are exceedingly complicated and a commercially viable property acquisition strategy has been a key aspect of LSH’s initial commission as there are a number of combinations of property acquisitions which could ultimately deliver the junction improvement each of which present their own potential land acquisition difficulties. 3.5 Despite this progress there remain 28 parcels of land which the Council still requires to obtain and it is not currently anticipated that this could be achieved through negotiation alone. To this end a report will be presented to the Council’s Executive in December seeking approval to formally resolve the making of an application to the Secretary of State for Transport of a Compulsory Purchase Order and Side Roads Order under the Highways Act 1980. 3.6 Initial discussions in relation to the planning permission application requirements have been confirmed with colleagues in the planning service and Highway Development Control and the associated specialist surveys have been commissioned in order that an application can be made in early 2016.

ENV1DECDOCV 3 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 3

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

3.7 Detailed design of the junction arrangement is progressing with a design team incorporating specialisms from Urban Traffic Control (UTC), Street Lighting, Landscape and Conservation and Highways Structures being engaged in preparation of their aspects of the scheme 3.8 In light of the potentially complex CPO requirements for this project it is now expected that this project will be delivered by Q4, 2018/2019 as CPO processes conservatively add 12 to 18 months onto the project programme. Whilst the CPO processes have added additional activities to the programme and extended the anticipated completion date into Q4, 2018/2019 the scheme remains on target for delivery prior to 2021 as originally advised to WYCA. Hard Ings Road Dualling, Keighley 3.9 This project has similarly progressed through the Gateway 1 process and is now progressing through to submission of its Gateway 2 Outline Business Case. Unlike the Harrogate Road / New Line junction proposal this scheme does not require formal planning permission as the scope of the scheme falls within permitted development rights under the Highways Act 1980. Despite not requiring planning permission this project does require a number of parcels of land to be acquired through negotiation. 3.10 The scheme involves widening of Hard Ings Road between the Bradford Road and Beechcliffe roundabouts with modification of existing access rights onto the A650 at this location from various business interests. 3.11 Negotiations with affected land and property owners have been commenced again facilitated by Lambert Smith Hampton who have been appointed to act as property and CPO advisors to this project. Early indications are that there are two affected parties who would not enter into private treaty negotiations at this time and therefore the likelihood of a potential CPO situation is increasing. Until negotiations between the Council, LSH and the properties in question have progressed further it is unknown whether a formal CPO resolution will be required from the Council’s Executive but clarity on this matter should be achieved by December this year. 3.12 Widening proposals on Hard Ings Road also impact the allotments which are administered by Keighley Town Council as an alternative to widening on the Victoria Park (southern) side of Hard Ings Road. An approach has been made to the Town Council to seek their support to the scheme proposals as a formal application to the Secretary of State will be required to transfer land to the Council for the delivery of the scheme. Keighley Town Council have recently confirmed that they are willing to support such an application. 3.13 In light of the potential CPO requirement on this project it is now expected that CPO processes may take up to 12 months to complete given the scope of land assembly required and that consequently this project will be delivered by Q3, 2018/19. Again, this project remains on track for delivery prior to 2021.

A650 Tong Street Corridor Improvements 3.14 A detailed feasibility study, funded from WY+TF, to examine potential small scale interventions on Tong Street / Westgate Hill Street between Wakefield Road and Drighlington Bypass was concluded by officers in June 2015. This study was funded by the WY+TF as part of a Gateway 0 assessment of further potential ‘early win’ interventions which could be progressed before a wider improvement programme could be delivered post 2021. This study examined key junctions and known congestion points along the corridor including assessing potential land complications associated with delivering any proposed improvements. Detailed traffic modelling of each proposed intervention, both in isolation and then collectively along the corridor concluded that there were no justifiable interventions which presented value for money to address problems along this corridor. 3.15 The study therefore concluded that the only intervention which was viable for progression further was a full widening of the corridor (i.e. delivery of the ‘wider’ post 2021 project). A revised Gateway 0 Mandate was therefore submitted to the WYCA for consideration outlining both the findings of the study and recommending that the post 2021 proposal was considered for progression within the overall programme. This revised mandate was subsequently approved by WYCA and since late October development work on the Gateway 1 submission document has commenced. It is currently anticipated that a submission of the Strategic Outline Case (Gateway 1) will be made by Q1, 2015/16. 3.16 Given the fundamental change in the nature of the scheme proposed it is now increasingly unlikely that improvements on Tong Street corridor will be delivered by 2021 although further clarity on the anticipated delivery timescale will become available as development of the Gateway 1 submission is completed. Bradford to Shipley Corridor Improvement 3.17 In the initial prioritisation programme for the WY+TF the Bradford to Shipley corridor improvement was identified as a medium term project which was anticipated to commence construction by 2021, but not be completed by 2021. 3.18 This project consists of a number of junction improvements along the Canal Road corridor including the Branch (Otley Road / Bradford Road), Valley Road / Otley Road and Gaisby Lane together with widening of Canal Road at the Queens Road arches and improvement of the Bolton Lane junction. The project also includes introduction of pedestrian, cycle facilities and bus lanes on the approach to Fox’s corner in Shipley together with a Quality Bus corridor on the A650 Manningham Lane. 3.19 Given the segmental nature of this scheme consideration was given to the potential to bring forward individual junction improvements within the WY+TF programme to replace the original proposal for Tong Street’s low cost intervention measures. Additionally, the strategic importance of Canal Road

ENV1DECDOCV 5 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 5

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

corridor to the Council was seen as a further fundamental driver to the request to escalate this project within the overall programme. An outline mandate for this project was considered and approved by WYCA in June 2015 with an initial programme for submission of the Strategic Outline Case (Gateway 1) documentation by Q1, 2015/16 - putting this on an equal footing with the revised A650 Tong Street mandate – at which time WYCA could consider deliverability of these proposals within its overall funding envelope. 3.20 The information for the Strategic Outline Case is currently being developed by internal Council resources however the demands of the current WY+TF programme have meant that progress towards the original programme is slower than anticipated and it is now likely that the Gateway 1 submission for this project will occur either towards the end of Q1-2015/16 or more likely Q2- 2015/16. Rail Station Gateways including Bradford Forster Square and Bradford Interchange 3.21 Bradford Stations Gateways projects are two of six stations including in the WY+TF Station Gateways programme. This programme was added to the WY+TF to fulfil district aspirations to developer better rail gateways to their principal towns/cities. Bradford Forster Square 3.22 Following the Independent Yorkshire Design Review Panel meeting improvements to the Forster Square master plans are currently underway and are being progressed by consultants Arup. This addendum requested that: a) Arup engage with key adjacent land owners (in particular British Land and HMRC) and relevant rail industry partners (Network Rail, Northern Rail and Virgin Trains East Coast) to produce a mutually agreed beneficial design. b) The design for Forster Square station should give greater consideration of how more extensive public realm works might assist in improving the scheme. Additionally, how the role of green infrastructure both in the immediate area and wider context could bring additional benefits. c) Investigate the potential for changes to parking, taxi drop off and bus turn around locations. 3.23 In line with the addendum considerations above, the Station Gateway project design team has met with British Land design team to discuss linkages between the two proposed designs. Work has recently been completed to establish a list of key principles from each of the project stakeholders ensuring all design consideration have been accounted for. The final design is scheduled for submission at the end of October and as soon as this is received the team will commission Network Rail for the GRIP1-2 study aiming for submission of the

ENV1DECDOCV 6 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 6

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

Strategic Outline Case (Gateway 1) in April 2016 with the overall station delivery remaining on programme for completion by 2019. Bradford Interchange 3.24 The Masterplan work for the improvements to Bradford Interchange was completed in October 2014 considering both the rail station and car parking areas but specifically excluding the bus station area of the site which is owned by WYCA. This piece of work did not result in an optimal solution for an at grade link between the buses and trains. 3.25 Following discussions with WYCA it was recommended that the bus station be included in the master planning work to take account of potential health and safety concerns with a design that proposes an at grade link between buses and trains. In addition, a revised solution that includes the bus station also presents the opportunity to tackle a number of structural maintenance liabilities. 3.26 Changes to the master plan work would also allow consideration of potential changes of use of buildings in the surrounding area such as the new swimming pool and Jacobs Well and may also include the option to include the adjacent NCP car park. 3.27 To progress this work further a revised Project Mandate has been prepared and submitted to WYCA for consideration. 4. FINANCE & RESOURCE APPRAISAL 4.1 WYCA is supported financially through annual settlement and as agreed in the WYCA Business Plan. Both WYCA and LEP provide routes to funding streams and investment to support regeneration and prosperity, especially for transport improvement, schemes and regeneration ambitions as well as a channel for City Deal funds. The WYCA’s operation and transport expenditure was set under statue (January 2015). It is expected that the baseline costs will be no more than previous costs of operating the PTE and WYITA. 4.2 There are a number of reasons behind the delay in progress of the Transport Fund projects but principally the lack of professional engineering resources internally to the Council is seen as the largest contributing factor. Mitigation on key aspects of project delivery has been put in place but the recent loss of staff to other District partners is compounding the lack of resource issues. 4.3 The continued increase in West Yorkshire+ Transport Fund projects is also leading to the situation where further demands are being placed on the service and as a consequence resources are now having to be diverted from other areas of the service to ensure that Member’s expectations in relation to delivery aspirations for transport transformation can be achieved. 4.4 Financially, funding arrangements for the delivery of the West Yorkshire+ Transport Fund projects have recently been revised by WYCA. The Growth Deal funding element of the WY+TF and its management have led to the

ENV1DECDOCV 7 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 7

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

introduction of formal funding agreements by WYCA. District partners, including Bradford, have now been advised that further funding from the Transport Fund will no longer be made until formal agreements are engrossed for all Transport Fund projects which have achieved Gateway 0 status (project Mandate). This essentially means that funding for any of the projects which are described in this project is currently not being provided by WYCA awaiting confirmation of funding agreements. A small working group has been established with representatives of PT&H, Legal and Finance to progress the four agreements as a matter of urgency in order that funding for development of these projects can be resumed. Until these agreements have been completed, given the strategic importance of these projects, the Council is continuing working on these projects within the surplus’ payments which it has previously received however this funding is rapidly reducing placing an added impetus to the need for completion of the funding agreements before Christmas. 5. RISK MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE ISSUES 5.1 Both the Council and WYCA have well developed processes to manage risk in a timely and effective manner. The programmes referred to in this report are subject to these processes. 6. LEGAL APPRAISAL 6.1 The schemes and programmes of work identified in this report are being implemented through the Council’s role as Highway Authority and Traffic Regulation Authority and the WYCA’s role as Transport Authority. 7. OTHER IMPLICATIONS 7.1 Equality & Diversity The public sector quality duty in s149 of the Equalities Act applies to the Council in the exercise of its functions. Those functions will include most, if not all, of the proposals and other measures referred to in this report. The duty is to “have regard to the need to (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited under [the 2010 Act], (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it, [and] (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it”. In summary, this includes the need to remove of minimise disadvantages suffered by persons that are connected to that relevant protected characteristic and taking steps to meet the needs of persons who do not share it and encouraging persons who share a relevant protected characteristic to participate in public life. It also includes taking steps to take account of disabled persons’ disabilities and makes it clear that compliance with the duties “may involve treating some persons more favourably than others”.

ENV1DECDOCV 8 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 8

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

The duty is “to have regard” which means such regard as is appropriate to the circumstances. The duty and its effect are wide ranging and this is also reflected in the definition of relevant protected characteristics which are age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or believe, sex or sexual orientation. It is evident that all of the schemes and proposals referred to in this report have the potential to impact on persons who share one or more of the relevant protected characteristics. Due to the nature of this report it is not possible to provide any form of detailed equality impact assessment of specific schemes. However, officers will ensure that a specific assessment is carried out as part of the preparatory work for each programme or scheme as appropriate and, as far as practicable, is taken into account in the design of each scheme with Members being consulted if issues arise which either cannot be addressed, or can only be addressed with difficulty or excessive cost, as part of the programme or scheme. 7.2 Sustainability Implications Delivery of schemes described in this report are likely to produce mixed implications on sustainability depending upon the specific composition of any individual scheme. The nature of this report precludes a detailed assessment of the sustainability implications on a detailed level however at a wider programme level it is anticipated that broadly neutral impacts will be delivered on biodiversity, flora and fauna. Air quality, material assets, health and the economy would benefited by the overall WY+TF programme whilst noise, townscape and landscape would suffer minor adverse impacts dependent upon the details of the schemes implemented. 7.3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impacts 7.4 The management of greenhouse gases and mitigation of their impacts are a priority for WYCA/LEP and the Council. Control arrangements are in place to promote climate change mitigation, adaptation and emissions management from their operations, schemes and functions. Contributions of individual schemes to these metrics are assessed as part of the Strategic & Economic Case justification at each appropriate Gateway Review. 7.5 Community Safety Implications Safety and security of the transport network is a key consideration of both the WY+TF and LTP3. One of the key objectives is to ‘deliver an integrated, reliable transport system that enables people and goods to move around as efficiently and safely as possible’. Schemes currently being developed within the Bradford District will be delivered to the latest national standards and local requirements for both pedestrian and

ENV1DECDOCV 9 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 9

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & Scrutiny West Yorkshire Combined Authority Committee

vehicular safety. Designs will seek to either significantly improve safety features either in quality or quantity of provision by enshrining safe design as one of the core benefit outcomes of any scheme. 7.6 Human Rights Act Human Rights implications are taken into account in the development of individual schemes. 7.7 Trade Union There are no trade union implications associated with this report. 7.8 Ward Implications The wards in which the measures described in this report are implemented will generally benefit from the improvements. Appropriate consultation has and will continue to take place with Ward Members and the local community during the development of the projects at appropriate stages. 8. NOT FOR PUBLICATION DOCUMENTS 8.1 None 9. OPTIONS 9.1 The Committee could support the recommendation that progress on the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund be noted, feedback be provided to officers and that a further progress report on these issues be submitted in Autumn 2016. 9.2 The Committee could suggest an alternative approach to receiving reports on this issue. 10. RECOMMENDATIONS 10.1 That progress on the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund be noted and feedback to officers be provided by the Committee. 10.2 That a further report on the progress of the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund be presented to this committee in Autumn 2016. 11.

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & ‘My Journey’ West Yorkshire Local Scrutiny Committee Transport Plan 2011-2016

1. SUMMARY

1.1. This report outlines progress made in developing and delivering the third West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan (LTP) during its fourth year of operation, with specific focus on the Bradford elements of the Plan, and the development and initial delivery of the Single Local Transport Plan.

2. BACKGROUND

2.1. The third West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan (LTP), which covers the years from 2011 to 2026, was approved by the then West Yorkshire Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) in March 2011.

2.2. The objectives of the plan are as follows:

• To improve connectivity to support economic activity and growth in West Yorkshire and the Leeds City Region.

• To make substantial progress towards a low carbon, sustainable transport system for West Yorkshire, while recognising transport’s contribution to national carbon reduction plans.

• To enhance the quality of life of people living in, working in and visting West Yorkshire.

2.3. To focus delivery of the Plan it has been split into 3 year Implementation Plans, the second of which spanned the period April 2014 to April 2017.

2.4. The development of the second Implementation Plan during 2013 was set in context of uncertainties related to the Government’s redirection of 44% of the LTP Integrated Transport Funding to the Single Local Growth Fund which was the subject of a bidding process. An Interim Implementation Plan 2 of the Local Transport Plan was therefore developed during 2013 and approved by the ITA in January 2014 to allow delivery of the Plan to commence in 2014 and was subsequently updated in the context of the Single Local Growth Fund allocation announcement made in July 2014.

2.5. It should also be noted that the changes in the way the DfT calculate annual Integrated Transport funding paid to authorities resulting in West Yorkshire receiving approximately £2m less funding per year (£13m rather than £15m) from 2015/16 onwards. This is because one part of the formula used by the DfT has changed to reflect numbers of casualities per kilometre of road rather than absolute numbers of casualties. This generally dis-benefits the Metropolitan areas and other conurbations and favours more rural authorities.

Progress on Implementation Plan 2

2.6. Progress on the Integrated Transport capital schemes that have been, or are being implemented by the Council is shown in Appendix 1. Highway Asset Management programmes are set on an annual basis and in recent years have been set by the Executive and the local Area Committees as appropriate

ENV1DECDOCW 2 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 14

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & ‘My Journey’ West Yorkshire Local Scrutiny Committee Transport Plan 2011-2016

in accordance with the delegation arrangements previously agreed. The update on delivery of the Highways Asset Management programme is subject of a separate report to this committee.

2.7. Further information about the work that has been undertaken in Bradford during 2014/15 through the LTP and a number of related funding streams is provided in Appendix 2.

2.8. LPT3, Implementation Plan 2 is delivered across the following themes:

• Assets • Network Management • Information • Cycling and Walking • Integrated Public Transport • Safer Roads • Bids and Leverage • Low Carbon Fuels and Technologies • Other (feasibility, monitoring and evaluation)

Details of the individual projects and programme areas included in the Implementation Plan are contained in Appendix 3.

3. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Other Transport Issues

Bradford Interchange & Forster Square Station

3.1. A Project Board, led by Bradford Council and working group has been established with officer from the Council, WYCA, Network Rail and Northern Rail to progress the development of station proposals at both Forster Square and Bradford Interchange through the West Yorkshire+ Transport Fund (WY+TF), station gateway’s process. Master planning work for proposals for both stations has been completed and detailed project mandates have been prepared for each station to proceed to feasibility design.

3.2. Recent changes in the composition of funding provided by the WY+TF to the Station Gateways to potentially allow allocation of more than the previous programme funding amount of £50m have however slowed the progress of delivery of these projects. The WYCA is now asking each station gateway project to make detailed bids showing how their delivery contributes to GVA targets in order that funding can be allocated. Whilst this approach has delayed the current progress of Bradford Forster Square station it is ultimately anticipated that this approach could see both projects accelerated in later stages of delivery.

Local Pinch Point Fund

3.3. The Council submitted a successful bid for £2.665m support from the £170m DfT Local Pinch Point Fund for the junction improvements at Canal Road /

ENV1DECDOCW 3 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 15

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & ‘My Journey’ West Yorkshire Local Scrutiny Committee Transport Plan 2011-2016

Stanley Road. This bid required a 30% contribution to be made from local sources and Executive agreed to allocate £1.143m from the Capital Plan to support the scheme. This scheme involved the widening of Canal Road and the reconfiguration of the junction of Stanley Road as part of the initial phase of delivery of the wider Canal Road corridor improvement strategy (Bradford to Shipley Corridor Improvements) and the Canal Road Urban Village development.

Single Transport Plan

3.4. The West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) is developing a Single Transport Plan (STP) for West Yorkshire. The new plan will be a twenty year vision for developing an integrated transport network that supports the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership’s Strategic Economic Plan for sustained and health economic growth.

3.5. The STP will update the current West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan and will set out a step changing in the quality and performance of the transport system in West Yorkshire. The STP will be based around five core principles:

• One system, High Speed Ready – delivering a ‘metro style’ public transport network that integrates all transport modes, including High Speed Rail, into one system that is easily understood.

• Place Shaping – Making cities, towns and neighbourhoods more attractive places to live, work and invest with an emphasis on road safety, air quality, the image of places and the health of residents.

• Smart Futures – Exploiting technology to improve the customer experience and assist effective management of the transport system.

• Inclusion – to create a high level of access by public transport in urban areas and increasing the range of transport options for travel including car clubs, sharing schemes, taxis etc. linked into the development of local transport hubs.

• Asset Management – Maximising value for money in maintain the transport system for future generations.

West Yorkshire+ Transport Fund

3.6. In July 2014 the Government announced that WYCA had uniquely secured funding to establish a £1bn West Yorkshire+ Transport Fund. The fund will target reducing congestion, improving the flow of freight and making it easier for people to commute to and from expected major growth areas.

3.7. As part of the approved programme of projects to be delivered by the fund Bradford have the following schemes which are programmed to be delivered in full by 2021:

ENV1DECDOCW 4 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 16

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & ‘My Journey’ West Yorkshire Local Scrutiny Committee Transport Plan 2011-2016

3.7.1. A650 Tong Street Corridor Improvements – Detailed feasibility work on this project has been completed and a preferred solution has been identified. Work is now progressing on seeking funding approval to progress the detailed design of this option.

3.7.2. A650 Hard Ings Road and Keighley Town Centre Improvements – Detailed design on this project commenced in March 2015. Currently negotiations are on-going with affected land owners to attempt to secure via negotiation the necessary parcels of land and rights over the land required for the delivery of the scheme.

3.7.3. Harrogate Road / New Line Junction – Detailed design on this project commenced in January 2015. Currently negotiations are on-going with affected land owners to attempt to secure via negotiation the necessary parcels of land and rights over the land required for the delivery of the scheme. Work is also on-going with preparation of the necessary planning permission associated with this project.

3.7.4. Bradford to Shipley Corridor Improvement – Preparation of single option selection for this project has commenced following approval of the project mandate by the WYCA earlier this year. This project consists of a number of junction improvements including The Branch, Otley Road / Valley Road, Fox’s Corner as well as dualling a section of Canal Road between Queens Road arches and Stanley Road. Introduction of public transport benefits (Quality Bus corridor) on A650 Manningham Lane is also included in the project mandate. Works on this project are currently anticipated to be on site in 2021 although delivery of smaller elements of the overall project may be possible in the shorter term.

Air Quality

3.8. The impact of transport on Air Quality and consequential health issues is of increasing concern. The District has four declared Air Quality Management Areas and a large number of other locations are thought to be at or close to exceedance levels. Particulate air pollution has been assessed as being responsible for 5.3% of all deaths in the Bradford district, or approximately 222 deaths in the 25+ age range.

3.9. The UK is currently facing infraction proceedings from the EU due to failure to meet air quality targets. The case was referred to the European Court of Justice in April 2015 and the UK has been asked to prepare an Air Quality Plan. A consultation draft has been produced by Defra which indicates that the responsibility for improving air quality will be borne mainly by Local Authorities. The plan indicates that air quality targets will still not be met by 2020, unless further action is taken at a local level. The projected exceedance means that the UK could be subsequently fined £300million approximately or would receive ‘unlimited’ fines. The new Localism Bill leaves specific provision for the ‘passing on’ of fines seen to be as a result of actions or inactions of the Local Authority.

ENV1DECDOCW 5 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 17

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & ‘My Journey’ West Yorkshire Local Scrutiny Committee Transport Plan 2011-2016

3.10. The health impact of air quality on the Bradford population and the potential of fines being imposed by the EU are a serious concern for the Council and the importance of encouraging more sustainable modes of travel and addressing congestion issues that impact on air quality cannot be overstated. A Low Emission Strategy (LES) for Bradford has already been developed and was adopted in November 2013 (the 2 nd in the UK). Bradford Council has project managed development of West Yorkshire Low Emission Strategy in collaboration with the other four local authorities, WYCA and Public Health England. The strategy is currently undergoing public consultation at http://www.bradford.gov.uk/bmdc/Consultations/west_yorkshire_low_emission _draft_strategy.

4. FINANCIAL & RESOURCE APPRAISAL

4.1. The measures being undertaken by the Council and its partners through the Local Transport Plan are being delivered from the Capital and Revenue funding and staff resources available.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE ISSUES

5.1. Both the Council and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) have well developed processes to manage risk in a timely and effective manner. The programmes included in this report are subject to these processes.

6. LEGAL APPRAISAL

6.1. The programmes of work identified in this report are being implemented through the Council’s role as Highway and Traffic Regulation Authority and the WYCA’s role as Transport Authority.

7. OTHER IMPLICATIONS

7.1. Equality & Diversity

7.1.1. The public sector equality duty in s149 of the Equalities Act applies to the Council in the exercise of its functions. Those functions will include most, if not all, of the proposals and other measures referred to in this report.

7.1.2. The duty is to “have due regard to the need to (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited under [the 2010 Act], (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it, [and] (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it”. In summary, this includes the need to remove of minimise disadvantages suffered by persons that are connected to that relevant protected characteristic and taking steps to meet the needs of persons who do not share it and encouraging persons who share a relevant protected characteristic to participate in public life. It also includes taking steps to take account of disabled persons’ disabilities and makes it

ENV1DECDOCW 6 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 18

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & ‘My Journey’ West Yorkshire Local Scrutiny Committee Transport Plan 2011-2016

clear that compliance with the duties “may involve treating some persons more favourably than others”.

7.1.3. The duty is “to have regard” which means such regard as is appropriate in the circumstances. The duty and its effect are wide-ranging and this is also reflected in the definition of relevant protected characteristics which are age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

7.1.4. It is evident that all of the schemes and proposals referred to in this report have the potential to impact on persons who share one or more of the relevant protected characteristics. Some of these were identified in the Integrated Sustainability Assessment undertaken on LTP3 as identified in a report to Executive on 18 March 2011 – Transport Delivery Plan 2011/12 (paragraphs 9.1.2 to 9.1.7).

7.1.5. The factors covered in the ISA are narrower than the definitions of relevant protected characteristics in s149 and the duty under that section itself. Due to the nature of this report it is not possible to provide any form of detailed equality impact assessment of specific schemes. However, officers will ensure that a specific assessment is carried out as part of the preparatory work for each programme or scheme as appropriate and, as far as practicable, is taken into account in the design of each scheme with Members being consulted if issues arise which either cannot be addressed, or can only be addressed with difficulty or excessive cost, as part of the programme or scheme.

7.2. Sustainability Implications

The ISA considered that there were mixed implications on sustainability with neutral impacts on noise, townscape and landscape, heritage and water. Air quality, material assets, health and the economy would be benefitted by the strategy whilst biodiversity, flora, fauna could suffer minor adverse impacts dependent upon the details of the schemes implemented.

7.3. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impacts

The ISA suggested that there would be a reduction of CO 2 of 19% by 2025 across West Yorkshire with LTP3 proposals (compared with a ‘do-minimum’ scenario).

7.4. Community Safety Implications

Safety and Security of the Transport Network is a key consideration for LTP3. One of the key objectives is to ‘deliver an integrated, reliable transport system that enables people and goods to move around as efficiently and safely as possible’. The ISA concluded that there would be benefits from the plan in terms of reducing deaths and injuries from collisions. The LTP Implementation Plans include projects and schemes to improve safety and reduce casualties on the highway network as well as improving personal security on the public transport network.

Report to the Environment and Waste Overview & ‘My Journey’ West Yorkshire Local Scrutiny Committee Transport Plan 2011-2016

7.5. Human Rights Act

Human Rights implications are taken into account in the development of individual schemes.

7.6. Trade Union

There are no trade union implications associated with this report.

7.7. Ward Implications

The wards in which the measures described in this report are implemented will generally benefit from the improvements. Appropriate consultation has, and will continue, to take place with Ward Members and local communities during the development of individual projects.

APPENDIX 2

EXAMPLES OF TRANSPORT PROJECTS AND INITATIVES DELIVERED/COMMENCED IN 2014/15

A2.1 Local Transport Plan – Implementation Plan 2 Schemes

The 5 Constituency Area Committees promote Safer Roads schemes at a local level to tackle priorities with a primarily evidence lead approached based on casualty rates. The Traffic & Highways teams also work with local communities through forums, community groups and day-to-day contact with local residents to assist the Area Committees in determining where the problems and community priorities are.

In addition to Traffic Measures and Casualty Reduction schemes, the Area Committees also have responsibility for Disabled Persons Parking Places, access improvement schemes (e.g. dropped kerbs etc.), local public transport infrastructure (e.g. raised kerbs at bus stops, bus build-outs), safer routes to schools and cycling initiatives

The Safer Roads schemes therefore not only seek to reduce the incidence of road traffic collisions and thereby the occurrence and severity of associated casualties, but to improve accessibility and encourage sustainable transport i.e. walking, cycling and public transport use. Examples of schemes delivered through this programme in 2014/15 include: -

• Hollingwood Lane, Great Horton – zebra crossing and footway build- out. A much needed pedestrian facility at the entrance to a local park where there has been a history of collisions resulting in injuries to pedestrians. • Lister Lane, Undercliffe – speed limit reduction and traffic island. • Crow Tree Lane/Pearson Lane – road closure. A busy crossroads with a consistently poor casualty record. The scheme has closed one of the approach roads which had contributed significantly to the accident rate by virtue of its substandard visibility and conflict with opposing flows. • Green Road / Coach Road, Shipley - a 20 mph zone scheme, including vertical traffic features in a busy residential area with high levels of pedestrian movement to local schools. • Spring Gardens Lane, Keighley - Traffic calming measures including speed tables and cushions

• Traffic signal refurbishment at 7 sites including:

- Manningham Lane / Drewton Road - Hamm Strasse / Midland Road - Toller Lane / Haworth Road - Duckworth Lane / Little Lane - Chester Street / Little Horton - Little Horton Gyratory - Shipley Airedale / Canal Road

APPENDIX 2

• 10 Variable message signs to provide driver information and improve management of the network at:

- Leeds Road / Station Road - Harrogate Road / Tenterfields - Leeds Road – Thornbury - Leeds Old Road – Thornbury - Tong Street / Procter Street - Rooley Lane / Prologis - Mayo Avenue - Clayton Road - Shipley Airedale / Tesco - Toller Lane / Duckworth Lane

• Upgrading of Safety Cameras to the latest digital technology to improve efficiency;

• Continuation of development work on Low Moor Station by WYCA and Bradford Council including:

- Securing additional land to facilitate the potential further expansion of parking provision at the station.

- Appointing Network Rail’s contractor to commence construction.

- Completion of the off-site highway works in advance of works on the main station facility commencing in order to discharge highway related.

• Highways Asset Management activities associated with Highway Maintenance and Street Lighting are subject to a separate report to this committee on these activities.

A2.2 Leeds Rail Growth Package (Apperley Bridge Station)

Construction of the new station commenced in Summer 2014 and works were substantially completed in September 2015 including construction of the new Park and Ride facility, access road and traffic signal junction.

However, members may be aware of the recent announcement relating to delays to the opening of the new station at Apperley Bridge as a result of difficulties associated in obtaining the requisite Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) Safety Certification sign off. A mitigation strategy is currently being developed by Network Rail to address this issue as a matter of urgency.

A2.3 Cycle City Challenge (City Connect)

WYCA, Leeds City Council and Bradford Council were successful in securing £18.052m to support the construction of a high quality cycle route from east of Leeds to Bradford City Centre together with associated traffic management measures in the corridor and tow path improvements between Armley and

ENV1DECDOCW 13 (Version 1.0 – November 2015) FINAL Page 25

APPENDIX 2

Shipley. A further funding bid secured £250,000 for walking encouragement activities in the corridor. Design work was completed in early 2015 and works commenced on site shortly thereafter. Progress on delivery of the cycle superhighway is slightly slower than expected given the complexities of delivering this project but completion is expected before the end of the 2015/16 financial year.

A2.4 Regional Growth Funding

The successful bid by the Council for £17.6m of Regional Growth funding has been used, for amongst many other projects, to support the public realm improvements associated with the development of Westfield’s Broadway shopping centre which opened on the 5 November.

A2.5 Safer Roads Initiatives

Bradford District Road Safety Plan

The Bradford District Road Safety Plan was refreshed during 2014/15.

Practical Pedestrian Training

The practical pedestrian training programme has been delivered in 51 schools with 2,515 pupils receiving training. The programme is a positive contribution to heal and sustainable travel.

Primary School Plan

The Primary School Plan has been delivered in over 89 schools reaching 22,417 children.

Priority Ward Area Work

The Road Safety Team has worked with key partners to address road safety casualties in the Bowling and Barkerend, City, Keighely Central, Bradford Moor, Manningham and Little Horton Wards. Activities involving a wide range of partners have focused on community engagement, empowerment and ownership to reduce casualties.

Publicity

Drivers, passengers, adult cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians are targeted through publicity activities. Press releases, advertisements on buses, radio, JC Decaux boards and leaflets are used to put out key messages related to seat belt wearing, speed, the use of mobile phones, drink driving, distractions and awareness of other road users.

The Road Safety Team work with the other West Yorkshire and Yorkshire and Humber authorities on publicity campaigns and support the Government’s ‘Think’ campaigns.

APPENDIX 2

‘Failure to Look’ targets all road users and is the latest campaign from the West Yorkshire Safer Roads Delivery Group encouraging all road users to share the roads safely and to look out for each other.

A2.6 Workplace Travel Plans

Workplace travel planning remains a key priority in engaging employers and their staff on the benefits of sustainable travel options. The Transport Planning team continue to comment on Travel Plans associated with new developments as well as working with existing employers to ensure that the best possible travel opportunities are made available to staff across the District.

A2.7 Electric Vehicle Charging Points

The continued roll out of Electric Vehicle Charging Points continued in 2014/15 including completion of installations at Baildon and Keighley to provide charging opportunities for staff, visitors and fleet vehicles using local centres across the District.

1. SUMMARY

1.1 This report provides details of the current approach to Highways Asset Management and in particular Highway Maintenance, Street Lighting, Highway Structures and Winter Maintenance.

2. HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE BACKGROUND

2.1 The Highway Asset

2.1.1 Bradford Council is responsible for managing and maintaining the adopted highway network throughout the Bradford district, this includes carriageways, footways, verges, highway drainage, street lighting, traffic signals, highway bridges etc.

2.1.2 Bradford’s highway asset, which is used by all residents, businesses and visitors to the area, must be fit for purpose as it is a vital contribution to the economic health of the community and reflects the quality of the environment. Ensuring the ongoing safety of all users of this network is a very high priority. The infrastructure also needs to be able to respond to environmental change and extremes of weather, hence we must ensure that we invest in the network in a timely manner and that the resources we have available are used as efficiently as possible in order to provide the maximum benefit both now and in the future.

2.1.3 The highway infrastructure is the Council’s most valuable asset. The gross replacement cost, calculated in accordance with the requirements for Whole of Government Costs, is in excess of £3 billion.

2.2 Inventory and Data Management

2.2.1 Bradford has a robust data collection methodology which ensures it meets national government survey requirements regarding road condition data collection on the principal and non-principal network. Condition data is shown in the table below, this shows the percentage of the road network where maintenance should be considered (the lower the figure the better the condition). It is worth noting that the unclassified roads are now showing a trend of deterioration, this is quite a worrying development because this type of road makes up 81% of the overall network length within the Bradford District.

- 2 - Page 34

Indicator Condition Rating 2008/09 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 NI 168 Principal Roads (A Roads) 3 5 5 5 3 2 2

NI 169 Non Principal Classified Roads (B and C Roads) 6 6 6 5 4 3 3

BVPI 224b Unclassified Roads 5 8 8 8 7 10 10

2.2.2 In addition to the above data we also carry out inspections and surveys on the other assets including, footways, traffic signal installation / associated equipment, street lighting, bridges and other structures.

2.3 Highway Maintenance Programme Backlog and Risks

2.3.1 The Capital Highway Maintenance Programme 2015/16 is included in Appendix 2. This programme is effectively a rolling programme of work because at current funding levels only approximately 30% of the work can be completed during this financial year and therefore it represents a 3 year programme.

2.3.2 Deterioration modelling has indicated that at current funding levels investment is well below what is required to maintain a steady state road and footway condition. The capital cost for a steady state condition has been estimated at just under £6 million capital spend + around £3.5 million ongoing day-to-day revenue maintenance (approximately 50% more than current funding levels).

2.3.3 The road maintenance backlog is estimated to be approximately £48 million. This figure is based on measured deterioration values and the actual costs of returning that length of defective road surfaces throughout the district to an acceptable condition that would be resilient to further damage as a result of extreme weather events etc.

2.3.4 Another significant pressure is the continued reduction of revenue budgets. The day to day operational maintenance budget is very stretched in that we are still operating in a reactive ‘fire fighting’ type regime as opposed to the more cost effective approach that would be a more extensive planned repair programme that would also enable an improvement in overall network condition.

2.4 The Future of Highway Maintenance and Highway Asset Management

- 3 - Page 35 2.4.1 The overall aims of an asset management approach is to: - - Manage effectively the condition of the network. - Maximise the effectiveness of available spend by targeting maintenance budgets on works that will make a real and lasting improvement on highway condition. - Meet the needs of current and future network users and be resilient to the effects of extreme weather events.

It has clearly been shown that in the longer term, undertaking preventative maintenance delivers better value for money than letting the assets reach a point where significant renewal is required. Any reduction or break in investment could reduce the condition of assets and cost more to put right at a later date. With limited resources available, the DfT has confirmed that it is essential to prioritise highway maintenance, reflecting the economic and social importance to local communities, the need to safeguard the largest single local public asset, and to limit future liabilities that can result from not looking after the assets properly.

2.4.2 An asset Management Planning approach to the maintenance and management of the highway asset continues to be the focus of investment. However this can only be completely successful if there are sufficient funds to facilitate a suitable cyclic programme of works. In Bradford, as in many authorities across the country that would require additional investment in highways maintenance.

2.4.3 The DfT have launched a Highway Maintenance Efficiency Programme that has been positive in that it has raised the profile and highlighted the importance of timely maintenance of the highway network. It initially focussed on a suitable approach to pothole repair, however this has now been developed to advise on efficient maintenance practises including emphasis on an asset management approach, lifecycle planning, buy in from Leadership, risk management, collaboration and benchmarking.

2.4.4 These processes are deemed as best Practice by the DfT and it is likely that future capital funding will be linked to our ability to demonstrate that we are adopting similar principles. To this end, we are heavily involved with the other West Yorkshire authorities in the various aspects of highway maintenance that are delivering improvements and efficiencies, these include standardisation of specifications, joint procurement exercises, sharing of resources etc.

3. WINTER MAINTENANCE BACKGROUND

3.1 The Winter Risk Period runs from the 1st October until 31st March with a low risk period from 1st October until mid November and mid March to the end of April with monitoring of weather information and data throughout the whole period.

Bradford MDC operates one of the largest Winter Maintenance operations in the UK for a Metropolitan District Council. On a normal gritting run there are 26 routes driven over a total of approximately 720 miles, which accounts for 62% of the Highway Network.

All the drivers are in-house, the largest percentages of drivers are from the Highway - 4 - Page 36 Maintenance Section and also several drivers are from the Parks and Cleansing Division and supported by two contractors. Teams operate from four depots; Wakefield Road, Queensbury, Keighley and Ilkley.

Winter Maintenance is an expensive operation and the Directorate of Regeneration and Culture will continue to investigate new methods /systems that may offer opportunities to reduce costs.

3.2 The geography and topography of the district makes the winter maintenance operation challenging.

Bradford is situated in a very hilly and highly populated location.

The range of heights above sea level goes from over 1100 feet above sea level at Queensbury traffic Lights to 325 feet at City Hall. Odsal Top lies at 696 ft, Buttershaw 867 ft, Woodside 760 ft, Wyke 600 ft, Clayton 700 ft,

Allerton 750 ft, Oakworth 800 ft, Denholme 984 ft, Haworth 750 ft, Keighley 271 ft Cringles at Silsden 760 ft,

Shipley is down at 250 ft with Baildon up to 525 ft and Baildon Moor 800ft, Ilkley Town Centre 311 ft and Ilkley Moor 820 ft.

Back in Bradford, Dudley Hill 650 ft, Eccleshill 690 ft, Thornbury 560 ft.

The Pennine side of Bradford which includes Oxenhope, Denholme and back to the Queensbury area are the most problematic in severe weather.

3.3 In the wake of the severe winters, between 2009 and 2010 the Government commissioned a report named the Quarmby Review. The key focus of the recommendation from the review was to develop:-

Greater resilience in Salt stocks. In periods of extreme weather the relevant authorities (LHAs) are not constrained in its use of Rock Salt.

Establishment of data Collection Systems. Improve co-ordination and dissemination of research and specifically a review of technical standard and guidance, which would lead to more effective and efficient use of salt.

LHAs to review Winter Service Plan. Ensure links with wider resilience planning; consultation on improving information about these plans. Improve communications during periods of bad weather. Work with other Councils and the community to improve responses to snow events

3.4 For the history of Gritting, see table below for the last 5 years.

YEAR NO. OF GRITTING TOTAL OF SALT USED RUNS 2009- 2010 106 21,000 TONNES

2010-2011 85 13,300 TONNES

2011-2012 73 12,500 TONNES

2012-2013 117 22,000 TONNES

2013-2014 45 6,300 TONNES

2014-2015 68 14,800 TONNES

4. STREET LIGHTING BACKGROUND

4.1 The street lighting unit is responsible for 59,355 lighting columns, 5706 illuminated signs, 2152 illuminated bollards along with 932 subway lighting units. The majority of this equipment is fed using the local Distribution Network Operator’s cables and equipment – Northern Powergrid, formally Yorkshire Electric.

4.2 From a previous Client and Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) arrangement after the work was brought back in to the Council in 2004 the street lighting unit is now a combined client and operational function providing much better control and efficiency.

4.3 The street lighting assets are managed through the Insight asset management system (AMS). Insight is a complex inventory based system utilised for the recording and reporting of data related to equipment details, customer contact for faults and requests, work orders, repairs and other operations carried out to each piece of equipment. The AMS is also used to produce the data file for the electrical energy consumption of the entire stock on a monthly basis for validation and the calculation of the energy billing of unmetered equipment.

4.4 The inventory is currently updated using information documented and provided by the repair teams as they repair, amend or replace the street lighting assets. This presents a significant amount of manual data entry which in the future will be collected on mobile devices in the field reducing the administration required.

4.5 The AMS also provides an indication of the condition of each column to enable officers to develop the column replacement programme with the assistance of the inspection teams to identify those in the worst condition for future replacement.

- 6 - Page 38

5. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

5.1 The changes in the technology available for street lighting have progressed rapidly over the last ten years which has been reflected in the equipment installed as part of the column replacement programme including:- o All bollards now LED or reflective reducing energy consumption o Around 2500 street lights controlled by Central Management System providing individual control of variable lighting levels on each unit. o All new street lighting units over the past 12 months are LED (around 350 units) o New sign lighting installations are all LED

However, these changes have also had an impact on the old type of equipment still prevalent across the District as lamps (bulbs) and other components are becoming increasingly more expensive and difficult to obtain.

5.2 Another aspect of the changes over the years is the number of fault reports we obtain for lamps out. It is probable that as a result of facilitating the customer in reporting faults using the website and apps for smartphones it is now much easier to report lamps out, which we have seen an increase in the number of faults over recent years.

5.3 This has had a marked effect on the repair times during the winter months when there is a significant increase in reports and a subsequent extended repair time due to the finite resource of operational teams. This is being addressed by better utilisation of the resource and when technology can be introduced for the teams this will speed up the updating of fault information reducing duplicate reports.

6.0 Highway Structures Unit Update

6.1 The Highway Structures Unit (HSU) adopts a strategic and systematic approach to asset management which combines good engineering practice and expertise with sound accounting principles and financial discipline to ensure that these valuable infrastructure assets continue to be safe, fit for purpose and deliver the required levels of service.

6.2 In brief, the Authority owns 623 bridges(Spans > 0.9metres), subways & culverts; 40 Sign gantries/signal mast arms; nearly 1600 recorded retaining walls totalling over 102 km in length. Highway Structures asset has been valued £655,840,350 (Gross Replacement Cost (GRC), July 2015).

6.3 The £1,451,700 capital allocation was spent on strengthening and major/minor maintenance works which were included in the annual Bridges Capital programme. Retaining walls remain a priority as this asset sub-group has been identified as presenting the greatest threat to the network.

Further progress has been made on the PRN and non-PRN wall strengthening programme. £190,000 was spent on PRN wall strengthening on the A647 at - 7 - Page 39 Scarlet Heights. As part of our route management approach various minor maintenance works costing £100,000 were completed on the B6143.

A number of other minor wall strengthening and maintenance schemes were also completed this year as part of our planned and reactive maintenance works. Resources were also redirected towards retaining wall strengthening were collapses occurred on key local roads on the network.

£250,000 was spent on the major refurbishment of Ilkley New bridge.

6.4 Our successful Challenge Fund Bid made in 2014/15 means that we will get additional £3,630,000 grant over three years (2015/16 to 2017/18) to fund wall strengthening works on principal routes (namely A629, A6034, and A6033) in the district.

We undertookSite supervision on a new £1,300,000, 100metres twin box culvert structure being constructed as part of the Canal Rd/Stanley Rd Junction improvement scheme .

6.5 We have continued to undertake our statutory general and principal inspections. We have worked with external providers through a new Term Service Contract. Over £150,000 was spent with more than 100 Principal Inspections completed in 2014/15.

We continue to undertake reactive maintenance works which appear to be occurring more frequently. Private structures are inspected only when an incident or danger is reported. .

Currently delivering schemes on the current 2015/16 programme and prepared our draft forward programme for 2016/17.

7. FINANCIAL & RESOURCE APPRAISAL

7.1.1 The road network is the most valuable asset under the Council’s control. The gross replacement cost in the Bradford District is approximately £3 billion. This value of such an important strategic asset highlights the fact that it must be protected by timely maintenance in order to limit future highly expensive liabilities that would be required if it were not to be maintained correctly and appropriately.

8. RISK MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE ISSUES

Both the Council and the Combined Authority have well developed performance management processes to manage risk in a timely and effective manner.

- 8 - Page 40

9. LEGAL APPRAISAL

The approach identified in this report are being implemented through the Council’s role as Highway Authority.

10. OTHER IMPLICATIONS

10.1 EQUALITY & DIVERSITY

In writing this report, due regard has been given of the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation, to advance quality of opportunity between different groups and to foster good relations between different groups under Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010.

10.2 SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS

10.2.1 Proactive timely repairs including surface dressing / micro asphalt / carriageway patching and other routine maintenance serve to extend carriageway life.

10.2.2 Although the Council is currently purchasing street lighting energy through the YPO energy framework contract at prices below the wholesale market price there is still significant pressure on energy reduction, especially when the Energy Market Reform begins to introduce additional charges.

10.2.3 Any reduction in consumption will assist in mitigation of the price of energy and the associated pass through costs.

10.3 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IMPACTS

10.3.1 The installation of lighting replacement schemes or the retrofit of existing lanterns with LED equipment will reduce the carbon footprint and emissions as a result of the reduction in electricity consumption when compared with the equipment that has been superseded.

10.4 COMMUNITY SAFETY IMPLICATIONS

10.4.1 Maintenance of the local highway network is essential to ensure the safe passage of all road users.

10.4.2 Although the new lighting will consume less energy and in some circumstances will produce less light, the new equipment will be much more efficient and provide a whiter light. The perception of the amount of light being produced is related to the colour of the light and the human eye perceives white light to be brighter that that in the yellow and orange spectrum.

10.4.3 The provision of good quality lighting has been proven to reduce crime and the fear of crime, especially where the equipment installed is a white light source. Many of the areas of the district have the old orange lighting, which when replaced with - 9 - Page 41 white light will be better lit than previously, although the light will be directed onto the highway rather than encroaching into properties and gardens.

10.5 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT

There are no human rights implications arising from this report.

10.6 TRADE UNION

There are no trade union implications arising from this report.

10.7 WARD IMPLICATIONS

The wards in which the measures described in this report are implemented will generally benefit from the improvements. Appropriate consultation has, and will continue, to take place with Ward Members and local communities during the development of individual projects.

11. NOT FOR PUBLICATION DOCUMENTS

None.

12. RECOMMENDATIONS

12.1 That progress on Highways Asset Management be noted and feedback to officers be provided by the Committee.

12.2 That a further report on Highways Asset Management be submitted to this Committee in Autumn 2016.

Report of the Strategic Director, Regeneration to the meeting of Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee to be held on 1 December, 2015. Y

Subject: Twelve Month Review of the recommendations of the detailed scrutiny review into the people killed and seriously injured on the District’s roads.

Summary statement: This report details updates to the eight previous O&S recommendations around the management of the districts Killed and Serious injuries on the highway.

Page 59 1. SUMMARY

This report is a 12 month update to a previous investigation and report for the Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee. On Thursday 11 July 2013, the Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee considered a report relating to, the Bradford District Community Safety Partnership end of year Performance Report 2012-13.

Members expressed concern at the area of underperformance relating to the number of people “killed or seriously injured” in road traffic accidents.

Subsequently the Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee requested that the Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee, undertakes a scrutiny review into this and reports back their findings to this Committee.

However during the course of this Scrutiny Review, members have learned that there are in fact significant discrepancies in the manner in which related data is collected and recorded. Subsequently, this Scrutiny Review has made recommendations for improvement in this area.

This review also highlights that casualties across the District’s roads are static, nevertheless members of the Committee feel that one death is one too many and the good work that is being undertaken by Officers to reduce casualties across the District, should not only be sustained but improved further and resources allocated to Road Safety should reflect this accordingly.

The information gathering sessions as part of this Scrutiny Review highlighted a number of areas for improvement. These areas included:

• Distribution of Road Safety Funding; • Data Collection and Performance Reporting; • Education and Training; • Resources for Road Safety across the Bradford District.

Subsequently, this Committee made a number of recommendations for improvement, which are set out below. The updates to the 8 recommendations are detailed here.

2. BACKGROUND

Recommendation 1

The Committee recommends that Bradford Council’s Road Safety Team with Schools and the Police, continue to take proactive steps in reducing pedal cyclist casualties by delivering:

• the safety aspects of Bradford Council’s Cycling Strategy; • Greater road awareness training to pedal cyclists.

Page 60

UPDATE: The Council’s Road Safety Team continue to provide Cycle Training and road awareness sessions for young cyclists in schools. As an addition, there is now a coordinated approach to cycle training by linking the Councils own training with the externally funded Bikeability programme. The Portfolio Holder for Change Programme, Housing, Planning and Transport approved a post to carry out the coordination.

Recommendation 2

The Committee recommends that the Executive considers that funding for road safety schemes and initiatives should be based on areas of need across the Bradford District where casualties are higher, rather than being distributed to Area Committees on a Per Capita basis.

UPDATE: No change. The Local Transport Plan and its priorities and funding come in three year blocks. With the advent of the new Single Transport Plan in April 2016, there is the ability to review the districts (and the wider West Yorkshire districts) priorities in terms of casualty reduction and KSI management. This is on going.

Recommendation 3

The Committee recommends that Bradford Council’s Traffic and Highways Team and Corporate Performance Officers work towards the annual reporting of people that are killed and seriously injured on the District’s roads, rather than the quarterly reporting that currently exists.

UPDATE: This recommendation has now been put into place, with yearly reporting of the three year rolling average figures.

Recommendation 4

The Committee recommends that the appropriate officers agree the period of duration for the reporting of casualties across the Bradford District and ensure that this is reflected in previous years’ statistics for comparison when presented in future reports.

UPDATE: There could not be a change to the Corporate reporting time frame due to the other Service reported KPIs. The agreement became there would still be April – April reporting with the KSI figures continue to report January to January and the supporting text would highlight the discrepancy.

Recommendation 5

The Committee recommends that officers from Bradford Councils Road Safety Team and from Public Health reach an agreement over the age of a child for the purposes of collecting casualty figures for children across Bradford District’s roads.

UPDATE: No Change. Due to the national differences in the reporting mechanisms between the Department for Transport and Public Health, any change would need to come from a Central Government office and not determined locally.

Page 61

Recommendation 6

The Committee recommends that education and training for road safety should continue to be delivered across the whole of the Bradford District and this should be reflected in the funding allocated to Bradford Councils Road Safety Team. Such education and training should be a multi-agency approach with key partners such as Public Health, Schools and West Yorkshire Police.

UPDATE: Ongoing with no change. Despite the Road Safety Budget becoming a devolved one, each Area Committee understands the need for a district approach given the budget levels and the existing method for determining priorities.

Recommendation 7

The Committee recommends that the Executive continues support for the funding of Bradford Councils Road Safety Team and that any future proposed changes to Road Safety funding are brought to the Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee, for its consideration and review.

UPDATE: Ongoing with no change. It is worth noting that Public Health has received a lower settlement in the Public Health Grant for 2016/17 and that all funding streams are currently being reviewed.

Recommendation 8

Bradford Council’s Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee to receive a report back in 12 months, which monitors progress against all the recommendations contained within this Scrutiny Review

UPDATE: This report.

3. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

1. SUMMARY

This report presents the Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committees work programme for 2015/16.

2. BACKGROUND

2.1 Each Overview and Scrutiny Committee is required by the Constitution of the Council to prepare a work programme (Part 3E – Overview and Scrutiny Procedure Rules, Para 1.1).

3. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

3.1 The Environment and Waste Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee has responsibility for “the strategies, plans, policies, functions and services directly relevant to the corporate priority about improving waste management and the environment.” (Council Constitution, Part 2, 6.2.1).

3.2 The remit of this Committee also includes the strategies, plans, functions and services directly relevant to the corporate priorities about reducing carbon emissions, transport and highways, creating a greener and more sustainable environment and positively affecting climate change.

3.3 Best practice published by the Centre for Public Scrutiny suggests that “work programming should be a continuous process”. It is important to review work programmes, so that important or urgent issues that arise during the year are able to be scrutinised. Furthermore, at a time of limited resources, it should also be possible to remove areas of work which have become less relevant or timely. For this reason, it is proposed that the Committee’s work programme be regularly reviewed by members of the committee throughout the municipal year.

3.4 The work programme as agreed by the Committee will form the basis for the Committee’s work during the year, but will be amended as issues arise during the year.

4. OPTIONS

4.1 The Committee may choose to add to or amend the proposed items to be included in the 2015-16 work programme for the committee.

4.2 Members may wish to consider any detailed scrutiny reviews that it may wish to conduct.

5. FINANCIAL & RESOURCE APPRAISAL

5.1 None.
