19 ENVIRONMENT PORTFOLIO - PREVIOUS DECISIONS

Decisions of the Portfolio Holder made since the previous meeting of the Committee were noted.

20 PRE-DECISION SCRUTINY OF REPORTS TO THE ENVIRONMENT PORTFOLIO HOLDER

A) BUDGET MONITORING 2012/13

Report ES12109

Based on expenditure and activity levels to 31st August 2012, the Environment Portfolio was projected to be balanced at year end.

Details were provided of the 2012/13 projected outturn with a forecast of projected spend for each division compared to the latest approved budget. Background to variations was also outlined.

Councillor Peter Fookes enquired about background to the shortfall in income for on and off street parking. He was advised of contributory factors which included languishing retail activity (impacted by poor summer weather), new parking increases not taking effect until 30 th April and performance expectations for parking income being set an optimistic level. The Chairman suggested that parking income may have also been affected by the impact of the Olympics.

Councillor Reg Adams was pleased that the net loss of custom for trade waste collections had been less than anticipated following the increase in prices from 1 st April 2012.

Noting that this position indicated a projected £140k surplus against a projected deficit of £150k for trade waste delivered to the depots (an apparent loss of £10k), the Chairman felt that it was necessary for the Waste Minimisation Working Group to look at the trade waste figures in more detail (before recommending price changes for the 2013/14 financial year).

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to endorse the latest 2012/13 budget projection for the Environment Portfolio.

B) CAPITAL PROGRAMME - 1ST QUARTER MONITORING 2012/13 AND FINAL OUTTURN 2011/12

Report RES12151

At its meeting on 25th July 2012, the Executive agreed a revised Capital Programme for 2012/13 to 2015/16 and changes in respect of the Capital Programme for the Environment Portfolio were highlighted.

Page 6 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012

Enquiring of progress with works to the Chislehurst road bridge, Councillor Fookes was advised that completion was due early November (on time).

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to confirm the changes agreed by the Executive in July.

C) EXTENSION TO CONTRACT FOR PROVISION OF MOBILE PHONE PARKING

Report ES12111

Report ES12111 reviewed the first 2.5 years of the scheme for mobile phone parking payment, going forward into the third and final year of the contract. There was an option to extend the contract at the Council’s discretion for a further period not exceeding two years and Report ES12111 set out the reasons for recommending an extension.

Parking payment by mobile phone had proved to be a continuing success with an average 410 transactions per day. This was steadily increasing with a projected 150,000 transactions for 2012/13. Information was provided on the number of transactions, parking income received and a projection for the extension period.

The removal of 23 pay and display machines at specific on-street locations had also taken place throughout the Borough (enabling the machines to be recycled) with a further 18 machines ready to be removed. The Mobile Phone Parking Scheme was advertised at each location where a machine had been removed. Removal of the machines did not affect the public’s ability to pay by cash given the provision of at least one machine within the zone.

Mobile phone payment had contributed to the Council being able to reduce cash collection costs by £43k per annum. If mobile phone payment continued to increase, additional savings could be generated from cash collection costs. The expected growth would also enable more pay and display machines to be removed and recycled.

It was reported that Bromley Parking Services and Cobalt Technologies had worked well together in introducing new parking schemes or making adjustments to parking tariffs. There was scope within the current contact to provide other mobile phone parking solutions in future - Bromley Parking Services and Cobalt were keen to explore such ideas.

Officers had maintained a close interest in services provided by other mobile phone parking companies and were not aware of any different services that would warrant a tendering exercise. It was felt that there were clear advantages to continuing with the contract and the Portfolio Holder was recommended to grant a contract extension for a further two years.

In the first two financial years of operation income from Mobile Phone payment was £225k and receipt of an estimated £300k was expected for

22 Page 7 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012

2012/13. With a further two year contract it was anticipated that income received could reach £600k per annum and this was likely to generate additional savings from reduced cash collections.

In discussion Councillor Grainger highlighted what he felt was an inconsistency whereby it was possible to “top up” parking payment by mobile phone but “feeding” a pay and display meter was technically a contravention which was subject to the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) if undertaken regularly. He also enquired whether pay and display machines indicated certain charges associated with calls from mobile phones to the payment company.

Councillor Fookes suggested that consideration should perhaps be given to dispensing with cash payment for parking. The Head of Parking advised that mobile phone payment currently comprised some four to five percent of total parking transactions. Councillor David Jefferys felt that many residents such as the elderly would want to retain payment options.

The Chairman referred to trying to promote a modal shift on parking payment – if savings could be made it would help to prevent parking charges increasing. Councillor Grainger shared the concerns of Councillor Jefferys and felt that there would be a limit to the take up of mobile phone payment. Councillor Grainger was opposed to payment solely by mobile phone although he felt that further consideration should be given to parking payment by debit card.

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to:

(1) grant the contract extension on mobile phone parking payment for a further two years; and

(2) continue the policy of reducing the number of pay and display machines where practical.

D) TFL FUNDED WORK PROGRAMME FOR 2013/14

Report ES12116

In relation to Bromley’s 2013/14 formula allocation from TfL (£2.771m), Portfolio Holder approval was sought for a recommended list of schemes to submit to TfL in early October 2012.

Ring-fenced TfL funding would also be available to support other programmes, including Local Transport Priorities, Principal Road Maintenance, Bridges/Structures and Bromley North Village. As such the Portfolio Holder was also asked to approve a bid for Bridges and Structures and a Programme of Principal Road Maintenance for submission to TfL.

Highlighting the A224 congestion relief scheme (northern section), Councillor Grainger considered the Leesons Hill/Sevenoaks Way junction to be more

Page 8 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012 significant in contributing to congestion than the Nugent Centre entrance/exit. In response it was indicated that the project was looking to link signals and their junctions along Sevenoaks Way. Studies had shown that the Nugent Centre would be the main traffic blockage. With signals installed at the Nugent Centre junction all signals would then be linked along the Orpington by pass northern section. Improving the Nugent Centre exit would be the major part of the sc heme’s cost.

Councillor Grainger also referred to opening the north east corner of St Mary Cray High Street for one-way traffic (which would involve opening the rear of the Nugent Centre to the High Street). Members were advised that this had been looked at but rejected for the present time - it would encourage too much traffic on to the minor road.

In connection with Bromley’s status as a “Biking Borough” , Councillor Jefferys was informed that there were a couple of options for proposed junction improvements at Westmoreland Road/High Street. Details would be brought to the Committee for consideration; the outcome of the planning process was also awaited in respect of Site L.

Concerning pedestrian crossings in the context of cycling and walking schemes, Councillor Grainger expressed a preference for refuges. An explanation was also provided on the proposed scheme for Shire Lane involving access to the bus stop by High Elms Country Park. Councillor Grainger also highlighted school travel plan monitoring and review; the Head of Traffic and Road Safety indicated that monitoring would continue and that current monitoring approaches provided information. Most of funding was spent on developing plans; much less time was spent reviewing and there was an emphasis on what would change travel behaviours.

For Congestion Relief, Councillor Reg Adams noted that there were no schemes included for the Penge/Crystal Palace area and he enquired how the congestion relief funding was allocated. In reply, reference was made to outcomes from the former Congestion Working Party and pinch points highlighted in the review. To make a significant impact on congestion officers had looked at key pinch points such as the A224 Orpington by pass. The Penge/Crystal Palace area would be looked at for the future; however, schemes providing maximum benefit would be taken forward. Councillor Fookes suggested that it be would useful to see schemes not included and Councillor Grainger suggested a list identifying pinch points from the Congestion review where work had completed. The Chairman asked the Head of Traffic and Road Safety to circulate the list considered by the Congestion Working Party.

Concerning Road Safety Education, it was explained that “Smarter Driving” was aimed mainly at Year 12 students providing them with pre-driver training. It also covered safer driving for adults through the Advance Driving Course. Moped training was also provided for senior school students. Councillor Adams was advised that all types of secondary school could receive relevant training including Academy and Independent Sector schools.

24 Page 9 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012

It was also explained that the “Car Seats Project” related to the Car Seat Fitting Centre facilitated by the Bromley Adult Education College at Nightingale Lane. The Project enabled parents to try a brand of child seat before buying and it was advertised at venues such as neo-natal clinics and schools. It also offered a training programme to local retail staff involved in child seat sales, providing advice on the proper fitting of car seats for new born babies.

Under “Cycling and Walking Schemes” , the Chairman noted a proposed scheme entitled “ Upgrade Bridleway, 192 Court Road ”. Members were advised that the footpath was not in good condition from Ramsden Road; the Chairman felt that it was necessary to clarify what was meant by 192 .

Members were advised that the list of schemes at Enclosure 1 to Report ES12116 was a suggested programme (even though the list might be submitted to TfL). The report indicated that there would be little difficulty in changing the list of schemes following submission or during 2013/14 itself. On proposals for the 2013/14 Principal Road Maintenance Programme, the Head of Traffic and Road Safety indicated that there would be opportunity for the Committee to consider a final Programme later in the year and that the Programme at Enclosure 2B to the report was not therefore final.

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to agree that:

(1) the programme of formula funded schemes for 2013/14 at Enclosure 1 be approved for submission to Transport for London;

(2) the bid for Bridges and Structures at Enclosure 2A be approved for submission to Transport for London;

(3) the programme for Principal Road Maintenance at Enclosure 2B be approved for submission to Transport for London; and

(4) the Director of Environmental Services, in consultation with the Environment Portfolio Holder, be authorised to make post-submission changes to the programme to reflect any necessary changes to priority, potential delays to implementation following detailed design and consultation, or other unforeseen events.

E) GREEN STREET GREEN PARKING REVIEW

Report ES12121

Portfolio Holder approval was sought for the introduction of a parking scheme in the Green Street Green area.

Page 10 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012 have limited off street parking facilities and residents can find it difficult to find a suitable parking place.

Following informal consultation with Ward Members, traders and resident groups, a formal consultation was undertaken in August 2012 to assess support for introducing a parking scheme.

Proposals for the scheme as originally drafted were outlined in Report ES12121. At the meeting additional drawings were tabled showing:

a revised drawing (Drawing Number 11033-05 Revision A) for the Green Street Green Parking Scheme to replace the drawing appended to Report ES12121; a proposed parking scheme for “Old” Shire Lane (Drawing Number 11160-01); and proposed parking restrictions around the Beechwood Estate (Drawing Number 11033-01-10 Revision C).

Certain details in the text of Report ES12121 were amended by virtue of Drawing Number 11033-05 Revision A. This drawing took account of the outcomes from consultation - which were not available when the report was drafted - along with outcomes of a meeting on 21 st September 2012 between Councillor Grainger, the Head of Traffic and Road Safety and the Contact Officer for the report.

The Head of Traffic and Road Safety explained that some of the Green Street Green parking was associated with Metrobus staff based at the nearby Metrobus garage. It had been suggested by Councillor Samaris Huntington- Thresher that officers also look at using “Old” Shire Lane for parking. The proposal for consideration was that free parking spaces be allocated at places along “Old” Shire Lane subject to continued access to the salt depot at the end of the Lane. Concerning proposed parking restrictions for the Beechwood Estate, the Head of Traffic and Road Safety indicated that consultation would be undertaken on the proposals.

Councillor Grainger supported views conveyed prior to the meeting from Councillor Samaris Huntington-Thresher. It would be helpful to have the additional parking in “Old” Shire Lane and the additional parking indicated on Drawing 11033-05 Revision A. Reference was also made to drawing away Metrobus and Waitrose staff from parking in Laxey and Lezayre Roads.

To prevent any problems for snow clearance vehicles exiting the salt depot along “Old” Shire Lane, the Chairman suggested a restriction preventing overnight parking along the Lane. Councillor Adams suggested that any restriction apply to a period when snow clearance vehicles might be likely to operate and it was confirmed that seasonal restrictions could be looked into.

26 Page 11 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to:

(1) implement parking changes shown on Drawing Number 11033-05 Revision A along with the additional parking and changes for “Old” Shire Lane as shown on Drawing Number 11160-01;

(2) undertake a consultation on the proposed parking restrictions around the Beechwood Estate (Drawing Number 11033-01-10 Revision C);

(3) delegate the decision on final design of the schemes at (1) and (2) above to the Director of Environmental Services, in consultation with the Environment Portfolio Holder and Ward Members; and

(4) agree that the Green Street Green and Old Shire Lane schemes be reviewed after six months to determine if they have met their objectives and to discover if parking issues need to be addressed in any roads currently outside of the affected area, and that if a scheme is installed in the Beechwood Estate that this scheme is also reviewed at the same time as the Green Street Green and “Old” Shire Lane schemes.

F) BRITTENDEN PARADE, GREEN STREET GREEN - PROPOSED MAKING UP

Report ES12128

Details were provided of the referendum results into the making up of Brittenden Parade.

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to:

(1) Approve the layout for Brittenden Parade as shown on drawing no. ESD-10542-3

(2) Make a First Resolution under s.205(1) of the Highways Act 1980 in respect of Brittenden Parade as follows:

The Council do hereby declare that Brittenden Parade, Green Street Green is not sewered, levelled, paved, metalled, flagged, channelled, made good and lighted to its satisfaction and therefore resolve to execute street works therein, under the provisions of the Private Street Works Code as set out in the Highways Act 1980.

Schedule of Works From the junction with Glentrammon Road to the north to a point some 45.0m south where the street terminates outside no. 5 Brittenden Parade, as more particularly shown on drawing no. ESD- 10542-3

Page 12 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012

21 FORWARD WORK PROGRAMME AND MATTERS ARISING

Report ES12108

In considering the Work Programme, the Chairman was keen for the Committee’s Working Groups to take forward outstanding matters.

In particular, the Chairman was looking to see the Transport Priorities Working Group begin its review on tram and DLR links into the borough. He indicated that the Working Group should begin this aspect of its work ahead of considering a Borough Transport Policy which could start next year - this would be in advance of the next Local Implementation Plan (LIP) process.

APPENDIX A

QUESTION TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDER FROM MRS VIKKI HUGHES, WICKHAM COMMON RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION ( WCRA) FOR ORAL REPLY

1. Following an accident the WCRA is re -igniting the appeal for a pedestrian crossing on the A232 Croydon Road, close to Hartfield Crescent. This location is used extensively by school children at peak rush hour, from an estate effectively cut off from Hayes. What, after over 10 years, is the best way to ensure a successful outcome?”

Mindful of the history of this site, likewise of the numerous q uestions and enquiries posed and considered over time, I am by no means clear that there is either a ‘best’ or indeed any way at all to obtain the outcome you would prefer.

That said, I am also extremely conscious of the tremendous efforts which have been expended by Ward Councillors and Council Officers alike over time to achieve an accommodation with TfL, and were TfL’s position on related matters to change, I know that they can be relied upon to update and inform you immediately.

Supplementary Question

In her supplementary question, Mrs Hughes sought further advice on how to effectively take forward the Residents Association’s appeal for a crossing and whether there was any further way to move forward.

The Portfolio Holder referred to three particular considerations; (i) the need for TfL agreement to a pedestrian crossing as the A232 is a Principal Road maintained by TfL funding; (ii) land either side of the road being City of

28 Page 13 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012

London Common Land and (iii) a need for clarity amongst local residents on measure(s) that are wanted.

The Portfolio Holder was keen to help but indicated that it might be necessary to accept that TfL might not be prepared to change their view. TfL focussed analytically with limited funds and there was a rationale and priority for TfL spending on schemes. The local London Assembly Member and Member of Parliament could also be approached.

------

QUESTIONS TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDER FROM MR COLIN WILLETTS FOR WRITTEN REPLY

1. With regard to Cotmandene Crescent Car Park, could the Portfolio Holder tell us the cost on each occasion for removal of i) the dumped bagged arisings (and associated rubbish) at the far end of the car park adjacent to the petrol garage via grab lorry? and ii) the cost on each occasio n for the removal of dumped bagged rubbish (and associated bric a brac) in front of the recycling banks?

Reply i) Where a fly-tip is of sufficient quantity for Veolia to be required to attend with the ‘grab lorry’, a set price per visit of £47.16 is charged. This covers all material to a maximum volume of 10 cubic metres. ii) For small quantities of general waste and bric-a-brac, this is cleared by Kier as part of the daily clean of the Bring Sites incorporated in the Street Cleansing Contract, and there is no specific additional cost involved other than possible additional landfill tax.

------

2. Could the Portfolio Holder tell us how many offenders the Council has taken action against/or prosecuted for illegally fly tipping/dumping rubbish in Cotmandene Crescent car park over the previous six months up until the 25/9/12?

I will provide you with a full answer to this question at the earliest appropriate opportunity.

------

3. Following my complaints to the local authority regarding illegal flytipping, can the Portfolio Holder confirm that he will be 'giving the go ahead ' for the installation of CCTV (covert or otherwise) to catch & penalise those perpetrators committing this environmental nuisance in Cotmandene Crescent

Page 14 Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee 25 September 2012 car park?

I will provide you with a full answer to this question at the earliest appropriate opportunity.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE DECISION

The Portfolio Holder for the Environment, Councillor Colin Smith, has made the following executive decision:

EXTENSION TO CONTRAC T FOR PROVISION OF M OBILE PHONE PARKING

Reference Report (ES12111) :

Extension to Contract for Provision of Mobile Phone Parking

Decision:

(1) The contract for mobile phone parking payment be extended for a further two years.

(2) The policy of reducing the number of pay and display machines be continued where practical.

Reasons:

Report ES12111 reviews the first 2.5 years of the scheme for mobile phone parking payment, going forward into the third and final year of the contract. There is an option to extend the contract at the Council’s discretion for a further period not exceeding two years and the report sets out the reasons for recommending an extension.

As such the above decision also approves the submission of bids to TfL for Bridges and Structures and a Programme of Principal Road Maintenance.

The proposed decision was scrutinised by the Environment PDS Committee on 25th September 2012 and the Committee supported the proposal.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE DECISION

The Portfolio Holder for the Environment, Councillor Colin Smith, has made the following executive decision:

GREEN STREET GREEN PARKING REVIEW

Reference Report (ES12121):

Green Street Green Parking Review

Enc. 1 for Green Street Green Parking Review

Enc. 2 for Green Street Green Parking Review

Decision:

(1) Parking changes shown on Drawing Number 11033-05 Revision A along with the additional parking and changes for “Old” Shire Lane as shown on Drawing Number 11160-01 be implemented.

(2) A consultation on the proposed parking restrictions around the Beechwood Estate (Drawing Number 11033-01-10 Revision C) be undertaken.

(3) The decision on final design of the schemes at (1) and (2) above be delegated to the Director of Environmental Services, in consultation with the Environment Portfolio Holder and Ward Members.

(4) The Green Street Green and “Old” Shire Lane schemes be reviewed after six months to determine if they have met their objectives and to discover if parking issues need to be addressed in any roads currently outside of the affected area, and that if a scheme is installed in the Beechwood Estate that this scheme is also reviewed at the same time as the Green Street Green and “Old” Shire Lane schemes.

Reasons:

This decision gives approval for the introduction of a parking scheme in the Green Street Green area.

There is a high demand from shoppers, workers and residents to park on street given a number of small business units in the High Street at Green Street Green. Additionally a number of properties close to the High Street have limited off street parking facilities and residents can find it difficult to find a suitable parking place.

Following informal consultation with Ward Members, traders and resident groups, a formal consultation was undertaken in August 2012 to assess support for introducing a parking scheme.

Proposals for the scheme as originally drafted are outlined in Report ES12121. However the Environment PDS Committee at their meeting on 25 th September 2012 supported proposals for revising and adding to those contained in Report ES12121. These proposals are outlined in additional drawings which were tabled at the Page 23

Committee meeting and show:

• a revised drawing (Drawing Number 11033-05 Revision A) for the Green Street Green Parking Scheme to replace the drawing appended to Report ES12121; • a proposed parking scheme for “Old” Shire Lane (Drawing Number 11160-01); and • proposed parking restrictions around the Beechwood Estate (Drawing Number 11033-01-10 Revision C).

Certain details in the text of Report ES12121 are amended by virtue of Drawing Number 11033-05 Revision A. This drawing takes account of the outcomes from consultation - which were not available when the report was drafted - along with outcomes of a meeting on 21 st September 2012 between a Ward Councillor, the Head of Traffic and Road Safety and the Contact Officer for Report ES12121. It was at the recommendation of Ward Councillors that proposals have been developed for the use of “Old” Shire Lane in the context of overall parking proposals for the Green Street Green area.

The proposed decision was scrutinised by the Environment PDS Committee on 25th September 2012 (see text above).

2. Summary of Ward Councillors comments:

2 Page 28 3. COMMENTARY

3.1 The 2012/13 projected outturn is detailed in Appendix 1. This forecasts the projected spend for each division compared to the latest approved budget, and identifies in full the reason for any variances.

3.2 Costs attributable to individual services have been classified as “controllable” and “non- controllable” in Appendix 1. Budget holders have full responsibility for those budgets classified as “controllable” as any variations relate to those factors over which the budget holder has, in general, direct control. “Non-controllable” budgets are those which are managed outside of individual budget holder’s service and, as such, cannot be directly influenced by the budget holder in the shorter term. These include, for example, building maintenance costs and property rents which are managed by the Property Division but are allocated within individual departmental/portfolio budgets to reflect the full cost of the service. As such, any variations arising are shown as “non-controllable” within services but “controllable” within the Resources Portfolio. Other examples include cross departmental recharges and capital financing costs. This approach, which is reflected in financial monitoring reports to budget holders, should ensure clearer accountability by identifying variations within the service that controls financial performance. Members should specifically refer to the “controllable” budget variations relating to portfolios in considering financial performance. These variations will include the costs related to the recession.

3.3 Council on 26 th March 2012 approved the setting aside of £2.26m in an earmarked reserve for Member priority initiatives. The Environment Portfolio is responsible for the delivery of three of these initiatives as detailed below:-

Member Priority Initiatives £'000

General Improvements to footways and highways 750 Support to Friends Groups 250 Renew/replace the Council's community recycling sites 150 1,150

3.4 Appendix 2 has the details of the progress of each of the schemes.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

4.1 The Resources Portfolio Plan includes the aim of effective monitoring and control of expenditure within budget and includes the target that each service department will spend within its own budget.

4.2 The four year financial forecast report highlights the financial pressures facing the Council. It remains imperative that strict budgetary control continues to be exercised in 2012/13 to minimise the risk of compounding financial pressures in future years.

4.3 Chief Officers and Departmental Heads of Finance are continuing to place emphasis on the need for strict compliance with the Council’s budgetary control and monitoring arrangements.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

5.1 The 2012/13 controllable budget for the Environment Portfolio is projected to be £250k underspent at the year end based on financial information available to 30th September 2012. Within this projection there are major variations which are detailed in Appendix 1 and summarised below.

3 Page 29 5.2 A shortfall in income totalling £560k is projected for on- and off-street parking, partly due to the price increases not taking effect until 30 th April and partly due to a reduction in usage. This deficit is currently being offset by management action to reduce parking running costs (Cr £104k), extra income from parking and bus lane contraventions (Cr £166k), and a reduction in waste disposal tonnage (Cr £213k).

5.3 Customer drop out for trade waste collections has not been as high as previous years despite the recent price increase. Based on current information, there could be a surplus of £150k. This is offsetting a reduction in income (£150k) from trade waste delivered to the depots due to a decrease in customers. It should be noted that part of the reduction in waste disposal tonnages is directly related to decrease in customers (Cr £77k). The situation will be closely monitored.

5.4 A reduction in unit rates of electricity in April has resulted in an underspend being projected for the street lighting electricity budget of £170k. In addition to this, rebates and credits have been received totalling £80k.

5.5 Appendix 2 shows that nothing has been spent or committed as at 30 th September 2012 out of the £1.15m set aside for the three projects within the Member priority initiatives. It also includes comments on the progress of each of the schemes.

Page 31 Appendix 1b

Environmental Services Department - Budget Monitoring Notes - 30 September 2012

1. Income from bus lane contraventions Cr £109k

An increase in bus lane contraventions has meant that income is above estimated levels by £115k, offset by £6k less income received for tickets issued in 2011/12 than expected. The net effect is a surplus of £109k.

2. Off Street Car Parking Dr £217k

The parking charges income budget assumed that the new charges would be in place for the full financial year 2012-13 but these came into effect in late April 2012, as advised in the increase in charges report. The impact of this slight delay is Dr £20k.

Using the data available from the first five months following the increase, off-street car parking income is projected to be £280k below budget expectation - although this could be as high as £300k. Within this variation, around £100k relates to the four multi-storey car parks and £160k other surface car parks. The income will be closely monitored during the next few months and any major variances reported to Members.

The projected income deficit is partly being offset by savings from management action of £63k; through reducing running expenses including contract costs.

3. On Street Car Parking Dr £210k

Income shortfall in April was £40k as the fees were introduced at the end of the month. After analysing the data to 30th September 2012, it is clear that income is well below expected levels in Bromley town centre, Beckenham and Orpington. Overall a shortfall in income of £280k is projected, although this could be as high as £300k.

Management action has been taken to freeze the equipment replacement budget of £70k, on the assumption that - following the introduction of mobile phone parking - the policy of recycling surplus pay and display machines is continued.

The full year effect of the deficit currently projected for parking will be balanced primarily through additional income generated from the extra parking capacity being provided within Bromley town centre to address the planned closure of Westmoreland Road Car Park. The remainder will be funded from the underspend within waste management.

4. Car Parking Enforcement Cr £28k

There is a projected net surplus of £127k from PCNs issued by Vinci due to an increase in contraventions. As a result of a range of contract performance requirements being met, there is a performance payment due to the contractor of around £40k.

There is a projected deficit of £30k for mobile and static cameras due to reduced contraventions. However contraventions have begun to increase over the last couple of months which could reduce the projected deficit if the trend continues.

There is a projected overspend within staffing budgets of £29k.

Summary of variations within Parking: £'000

Bus Routes Enforcement (109) Off Street Car Parking 280 On Street Car Parking 280 Deficit in income from CCTV parking contraventions 30 Net additional income from other parking contraventions (87) Savings resulting from management action (133) Overspend within Enforcement staffing costs 29 Total variation for parking 290

5. Area Management & Street Cleansing £0k

There is a projected overspend within employee costs of £13k. This is a result of delays in implementing the Street Scene & Green Space review of back-office functions.

There is also a projected net overspend within premises costs of £13k, and toilet cleaning contract payments of £12k, as a result of delays in the planned closure of public conveniences. These overspends are being met by underspends within graffiti removal of £38k.

6. Waste Management Cr £290k

There is currently a total projected underspend within waste disposal tonnages of £290k. £165k has arisen from 2,150 lower tonnes disposed than budgeted for between April and September, with a further projected underspend of £125k relating to a variation of 1,630 tonnes projected for the rest of 2012-13.

Within the total projected variation of 3,780 tonnes, approximately 1,000 tonnes relates to decreased activity from builders and other tradesmen bringing waste to the depots. (500 tonnes lower of waste disposal at the depots in the period April to September 2012 compared to the equivalent period in 2011). This has resulted in a projected underspend of £77k, which partly offsets the income shortfall described below.

A deficit of £150k is being projected for trade waste delivered income due to reduced activity as described above. The bad weather in this period, especially during April and May, may have had an impact and it has been hoped that this activity would pick up later in the year. So far, this appears not to have happened, hence the deficit continues to be projected. The projected net deficit relating to this service is thefefore £73k.

Within trade waste collection income, there is a projected surplus of £150k. Prices were increased by 17% from 1st April 2012 and expectation was built into the 2012-13 for a dropout of 11% of customers. However, it would appear that the actual net loss of total customers has only been around 3.5%, resulting in the projected surplus income.

As a result of a reduced dropout of customers than budgeted, there are increased costs within the collection contract of approximately £25k. These are offset by various underspends across other aspects of the collection contract.

Summary of variations within Waste Management £'000

Decrease in waste disposal tonnage (213) Reduction in disposal tonnage as a direct result of a decrease in trade waste delivered customers (77) Shortfall of income due to drop in customers delivering trade waste to depots 150 Additional income from trade waste collections (150) (290)

Page 33 Appendix 1b

7. Highways including London Permit Scheme Cr £250k

There is a projected underspend within the Street lighting electricity budget of £250k. This is largely the result of an unanticipated reduction in unit rates of over 25% between March and April 2012. Additionally, rebates and credits of £80k have been received.

Within NR&SWA income, there is a projected net deficit of £30k. It is expected that this will be covered from management action to reduce running expenses.

8. Non-controllable budgets Dr £5k

For information - here, the variations relate to a net shortfall within property rental income budgets across the division. Property Division are accountable for these variations.

Capital Monitoring – variations agreed by the Executive on 24 th October 2012

3.1 A revised Capital Programme was approved by the Executive in October, following a detailed monitoring exercise carried out after the 2nd quarter of 2012/13. The base position was the revised programme approved by the Executive on 25 th July 2012, as amended by variations approved at subsequent Executive meetings. Only one change to the Environment Portfolio Programme was approved by the Executive in October and this is shown in the table below and further details are included in paragraph 3.2. The revised Programme for the Environment Portfolio is attached as Appendix A and detailed comments on individual schemes are included at Appendix B.

3.2 Transport for London – revised support for highway schemes (addition of £1,267k in 2012/13)

Provision for transport schemes to be 100% funded by TfL was originally included in the Capital Programme 2012/13 to 2015/16 on the basis of the bid in our Borough Spending Plan (BSP). Notification of an overall increase of £1,267k in 2012/13 was recently received from TfL and has now been included in the Programme. Grant allocations from TfL change frequently and any further variations will be reported in subsequent capital monitoring reports.

3.3 Scheme Rephasing

In reports to both the June and July meetings, the Executive was informed of the final outturn for capital expenditure in 2011/12 and noted that the overall level of slippage into later years (some £6.9m) was significantly lower than in previous years. Slippage of capital spending estimates has been a recurring theme over the years and Members were pleased to note that, following a review of the system for capital monitoring and for estimating the phasing of expenditure, carried out after the 2010/11 final outturn, a more realistic approach towards anticipating slippage was taken in setting the revised estimates in February. There was a net overspend of £0.3m on Environment Portfolio schemes in 2011/12 (mainly on the Chislehurst Road Bridge scheme) and this was analysed in the 1 st quarter’s monitoring report to the PDS Committee meeting in September. No further rephasing opportunities had been identified at that stage, but two schemes were rephased in the 2 nd quarter (see the table in paragraph 3.1). The latest position on 2012/13 capital schemes is outlined in Appendix B.

Post Completion Reviews

3.4 Under approved Capital Programme procedures, capital schemes should be subject to a post- completion review within one year of completion. Following the major slippage of expenditure at the end of 2010/11, Members confirmed the importance of these as part of the overall capital monitoring framework. These reviews should compare actual expenditure against budget and evaluate the achievement of the scheme’s non-financial objectives. While no post-completion

3 Page 39 reports are currently due for completed Environment Portfolio schemes, this quarterly report will monitor the future position and will highlight any future reports required.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

4.1 Capital Programme monitoring and review is part of the planning and review process for all services. The capital review process requires Chief Officers to ensure that bids for capital investment provide value for money and match Council plans and priorities.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

5.1 These were reported in full to the Executive on 24 th October 2012. Changes agreed by the Executive for the Environment Portfolio Capital Programme are set out in the table in paragraph 3.1.

Ward Councillor Views

2. Summary of Ward Councillors’ comments: Ward members support the making up of Brittenden Parade

2 Page 44 3. COMMENTARY

3.1 On 9th May 2012 the Environment Portfolio Holder received a report setting out a number of optional schemes for the improvement of Brittenden Parade, Green Street Green, which has not been made up and adopted as a highway maintainable at the public expense.

3.2 Complaints about the condition of Brittenden Parade have been received from residents, users and the Green Street Green Village Society.

3.3 To enable the street to become a highway maintainable at public expense, the Council needs to adopt it, but is only empowered to do this following improvement to the appropriate standards. The improvement works may be carried out under the provisions of the Private Street Works Code, but for this to occur, the Council has to make two distinct resolutions, a First Resolution giving details of those aspects of the street with which it is dissatisfied and a further resolution, a Resolution of Approval. The latter resolution approves details of the works required to bring the street up to a suitable standard, an estimate of the cost of such works and a Provisional Apportionment of these costs, amongst the owners of the land fronting, adjoining and abutting on to the street.

3.4 The Portfolio Holder made a First Resolution under s.205(1) of the Highways Act 1980, on 5th October 2012. The appropriate documents have now been prepared to enable a Resolution of Approval to be made and these documents will be available for inspection at the meeting. This enables the Provisional Apportionment, which contains details of property ownerships, to be as up to date as possible.

3.5 The results of the consultation show that the majority of the owners and occupiers of the retail and residential premises in Brittenden Parade support making up.

3.6 The support of one of the residents for making up Brittenden Parade was conditional upon future consideration being given to the control of parking in the street. The street is located within the area currently being considered for a scheme of waiting restrictions for this part of Green Street Green and following the implementation of that scheme and the completion of the adoption of Brittenden Parade the situation in the street will be monitored with a view to introducing restrictions as necessary.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

4.1 The proposal is within existing Council policy. Policy T14 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan 2006 safeguards the frontagers, who usually have to meet most of the cost of making-up. It is intended that the Council will meet the whole of the expense of the street works, but the Portfolio Holder considered it appropriate in this specific case to consult the owners and occupiers of the retail and residential premises in Brittenden Parade.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

5.1 The estimated cost of the works is £48k, excluding any costs that may be necessary relating to the mains and utility services. These works will be met from the 2012/13 TfL LIP funding. In total, £59k is available for this scheme, made up of £29k from the 2012/13 Network Infrastructure budget allocation and £30k from the 2012/13 Local Transport Priorities budget allocation.

5.2 It should be noted that all Private Street Works include an amount of 15% of the estimated construction costs to cover staff time associated with the administration and supervision of the works. In this case, this amounts to £6,100 and is included in the total cost of the scheme as referred to in 5.1 above.

3 Page 45

6. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

6.1 S.228 of the Highways Act 1980 permits the Council to adopt any private street by means of notices, displayed in the street for a period of one month, after street works have been executed in the street.

6.2 During the period that the s.228 notice is displayed, the owner of the street is able to object to its adoption as a highway maintainable at public expense. In such a case, the Council is able to apply to the Magistrates Court for an Order overruling the objection.

Ward Councillor Views

2. Summary of Ward Councillors comments: No comments have been received to date

2 Page 48 3. COMMENTARY

3.1. The junction of Blackbrook Lane and Bickley Park Road on the A222 has long been a cause of congestion and peak period delays on the routes from Petts Wood to Bromley and Sidcup, and from Sidcup to Bromley. An investigation was carried out by the Councils consultants to look at reducing congestion. It was originally thought that signalising the junction would be the solution to reducing congestion and improving road safety. However, this has been modelled and the results indicated much higher levels of queuing and delays, so was not taken any further. This design would also require land take of the grass verge nearby ‘ Lane End ‘ house site and the removal of mature trees, which is not considered viable by Officers.

3.2. Bromley has not programmed any scheme here while there were restricted flows over the Chislehurst bridge, since the latter part of 2008, or its subsequent closure in 2011. Bromley had upgraded another roundabout at the other end of Blackbrook Lane (as approved under Report ES10070 ) and are content this junction improvement is working as intended; therefore officers believe that a redesign can now be considered at the junction with Bickley Park Road with the opening of the new road over rail bridge in Chislehurst Road.

3.3. The main issues at the junction are: a). Delays as a result of high traffic volumes on the A222, b) narrow lanes restricting flows on Bickley Park Road, east bound and c) high volumes of traffic entering the junction from Blackbrook Lane which in turn conflicts with turning traffic on Bickley Park Road.

3.4. Due to the Chislehurst Road bridge works, we are unable to predict precise levels of future traffic flows at this junction with Blackbrook Lane, however the highest levels of congestion tend to be north bound on Bickley Park Road, that is traffic towards Bromley Town Centre from Chislehurst. Current traffic flows are not tidal, that is, they are different during the mornings compared to the evening flows.

3.5. As signalising the junction would increase congestion a design retaining a roundabout layout is still proposed, but with two traffic lanes in both Bickley Park Road (north bound) and Blackbrook Lane where there is currently only one lane. Bickley Park Road (south bound) already has two lanes, one for right turning vehicles into Blackbrook Lane and the other left towards Sidcup. The refuge in Blackbrook Lane would need to be slightly relocated to achieve an improved junction flare to give increased capacity for turning vehicles.

3.6. It is not yet clear which will be the better way of providing a path for pedestrians if the carriageway is fully widened. One solution is to build in the adjacent land towards Wellsmoor Gardens. Officers are investigating land ownership issues with an alternative option of just taking part of the footway width in Bickley Park Road, as detailed below.

3.7. Drawing number VN 50092-ECC-DG-002 shows a layout if a new path for pedestrians can be built. Drawing number 11252-01 shows an alternative layout, if a new path for pedestrians can’t be built, indicating a reduced footway width from 2.8m to 1.8m (which is a permitted width for footways in the Borough). This will increase the carriageway by 1m in Bickley Park Road providing two slightly narrower lanes northbound, with the advantage of reduced approach speeds. This is similar to the current layout for the eastbound flows in Bickley Park Road travelling away from Bromley Town Centre. With this alternative design no alterations are proposed for Blackbrook Lane.

3.8. Statutory utility services have been investigated, with trial holes dug. It is not anticipated that any will require moving in order to widen the carriageway in either Bickley Park Road or Blackbrook Lane, under the current footways.

3 Page 49 Consultation

3.9 No consultation has taken place yet.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

The proposals in this report are within existing policy. In ‘Building a Better Bromley 2020 vision - Quality Environment‘ one of the stated issues is : Improving the road network for all users.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The development at Golf Road provided a sum of £335k through a S106 agreement for highways works. Just over £59k has been spent on footway improvements at Goss Hill/Barfield Road, leaving a balance of £275.8k to fund works relating to the design and implementation of a scheme to reduce congestion at the Blackbrook Lane and Bickley Park Road junction. It is estimated that highway costs will be well within this allocation, and will obviously depend on extent of works. This will be reported to Ward Members should a scheme proceed after consultation and a subsequent detailed design. Any unspent funds will be returned to the developer.

6. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

They are detailed within the section 106 agreement dated 4 th December 2003. The agreement provides for an Additional highway Works Commuted Sum to be used, amongst other matters, for signalisation of the Blackbrook Lane / Bickley Park Road junction. If the works are agreed by the Portfolio Holder for consultation the Council will also consult with the company that made the payment.

Title : ROAD SAFETY SCHEME: SEVENOAKS WAY / MAIN ROAD

Contact Officer: Malcolm Harris, Team Leader, Traffic Engineer Tel: 020 8313 4500 E-mail: [email protected]

Chief Of ficer: Nigel Davies, Director of Environmental Services

Ward: Cray Valley West

1. Reason for report

Long queuing and traffic delays occur in Main Road at its junction with Sevenoaks Way, particularly at peak times along with problems for pedestrians and cyclists wishing to cross. As traffic returns to previous levels in Sevenoaks Way as Chislehurst Road opens after bridge repairs, the Council can consider adding traffic signals at this junction.

______

2. RECOMMENDATIONS That:

2.1 The Environment Portfolio Holder approves consultation based on a new layout of this junction to reduce traffic delays in Main Road, as shown in drawing number 11245-1.

2.2 The Environment Portfolio Holder delegates the decision regarding final detail of the design to the Director of Environmental Services, in consultation with Ward Members and the Portfolio Holder, having regard to the outcome of the consultation; this to include any alterations to the Pelican facility 70m away.

2.3 The costs of the above work are met from the TfL LIP formula funding allocation, along with additional Greenway funding.

Ward Councillor Views

1. Have Ward Councillors been asked for comments? Yes

2. Summary of Ward Councillors comments: Cllrs Fortune, Ince and Stranger are supportive of this proposal.

2 Page 56 3. COMMENTARY

3.1 Vehicles wishing to turn from Main Road can wait long periods for a break in traffic before being able to exit. This causes considerable congestion back into St Mary Cray village; also drivers often take risks to emerge into the steady flow of traffic in Sevenoaks Way.

3.2 With the opening of Chislehurst Road bridge consideration can be given to reducing traffic delays in Main Road at its junction with Sevenoaks Way. Delays also occur in Sevenoaks Way from persistent use of the Pelican facility 70m to the north of the junction with Main Road.

3.3 A new layout has been designed showing a signalised junction, see attached drawing 11245-1. A Toucan facility has been proposed as there is a new ‘on road‘ cycle route (Greenways: Cray Valley route) which goes from Goddington Park to Bexley, via Millbrook Road, Main Road and Sevenoaks Way. There is a dedicated off road cycle route along Sevenoaks Way with a segregated cycle path which would directly link to it. The new crossing has been designed incorporating facilities for cyclists connecting up these routes to secure some funding from TfL under the Mayor for London’s Greenways programme.

3.4 Officers are mindful that repeated use of the Pelican crossing 70m away from Main Road causes delays in Sevenoaks Way. Drawing 11245-2 shows the relative locations of the Pelican and the junction with Main Road. Pedestrian facilities are incorporated within the signal junction design, therefore signal elements of the Pelican should be removed, if the junction is signalised. This retains the status quo in terms of signal facilities in the Borough. However, there might still be a desire for the public to cross where the Pelican is currently located, therefore the central refuges could be left along with any other features apart from the signal poles and heads, as this greatly reduces de-commissioning and removal costs. The new signalised junction would provide a safe crossing facility for pedestrians both across Main Road and across Sevenoaks Way.

3.5 All necessary traffic surveys and counts in support of this scheme have been conducted and can be reported to members.

3.6 There would be no displacement of any parking at this location.

3.7 An opportunity now exists to secure additional TfL Greenways funding to add to LIP funding should the scheme proceed. The bid date is 24 October and the outcome will be reported to members. This will be additional funding to that already allocated to Bromley by TfL.

Consultation

3.8 This report recommends that consultation take place on the proposed scheme.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

The proposals in this report are within existing policy. In the 2012/15 Environment Portfolio Plan, one of the stated aims is “Improving the road network and journey times for all users”.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The estimated cost of the works is £120k. This will be funded from the 2013/14 TfL LIP budget for Congestion Relief, which has an allocation of £390k for the Orpington By-Pass area. Officers will be applying to TfL for further Greenway funding for 2013/14 to contribute towards the cost of this scheme, which if successful would free up LIP funding for alternative projects.

3. COMMENTARY

3.1 Bromley’s highway network comprises 856 miles (1370 km) of footway and 552 miles (884 km) of carriageway. A description of each carriageway classification and corresponding length is shown in the table below together with the corresponding condition indicator for 2011/12. Highway condition figures indicate the percentage of carriageways or footways likely to be in need of maintenance.

3.2 Regular surveys of the carriageway and footway networks are undertaken to determine their condition, identify those areas that are in most need of planned maintenance, and to determine the relevant condition indicator.

3.3 SCANNER surveys are undertaken every year on the classified road network (A, B and C roads). These machine based surveys use vehicle mounted lasers, digital camera’s and electronic measuring equipment to identify defects. Bromley procures SCANNER surveys through a London consortium led by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Scanner survey results currently determine carriageway National Indicators (NI’s).

3.4 Detailed Visual Inspection ( DVI ) of all footways and carriageways on the principal road network is completed each year by accredited survey inspectors. These are walked surveys designed to identify and categorise highway defects. DVI surveys are funded by TfL through the Road 2010 project which is also project managed by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

3.5 The output from condition surveys informs the engineer which roads should be “considered for planned maintenance soon” and a ‘long list’ of such roads is generated from the survey information. The latest survey result indicates that 20% of the unclassified network is likely to be in need of maintenance which is an increase from the previous survey result of 18%. Further criteria are applied to those roads on the ‘long list’ to help prioritise schemes in order that published programmes can be contained within the expected budget allocation. The further criteria includes:- Ward member consultation, results of coarse assessments by area inspectors undertaken during routine safety inspections, location on the network – main roads/busy roads/bus routes etc, proximity to rail and bus stations/schools/hospitals/libraries/homes for the elderly etc, records of frequent inspections, co-ordination with other programmes of work.

3.6 The Appendices to this report identify the results of the prioritisation system and show the locations and year of proposed planned maintenance. All proposed programmes of maintenance have been drawn up according to current known budget levels and external influences such as known programmes of utilities work. Subsequent changes to the budget or utilities works may impact on delivery of the programmes of work in the Appendices.

Planned Maintenance Programme

3.7 Appendix ‘A’ proposes footway and carriageway maintenance schemes for completion during 2013/14 funded from revenue budgets, with Appendices ‘B’ and ‘C’ detailing those roads that will be monitored for inclusion in future years programmes; these are subject to change following any adverse weather conditions. Appendix ‘D’ proposes principal road schemes to be funded by Transport for London.

Member Initiatives

3.8 In July 2012 ES PDS approved a number of one-off spends by way of Member initiatives. The proposals included £750k for additional highway maintenance schemes, with details of the first phase of the programme detailed in the report. Appendix ‘E’ details the remaining schemes to be completed during 2012/13 from this initiative.

NTL Budget

3.9 During the late 1990’s cable television infrastructure was installed by NTL, which involved excavating the highway. At the time inspections identified a number of trenches which required remedial works to comply with nationally agreed reinstatement standards. Rather than deal with individual sites, an agreement was reached between NTL & LB Bromley in 2003 to transfer responsibility for future maintenance of the trench reinstatements to the Council, as Highway Authority, in return for a one-off payment of £750k. £200k of this sum was transferred to the insurance fund to deal with any potential claims and the balance of £550k was set aside in an earmarked fund.

3.10 This budget has funded a number of minor repairs relating to NTL’s original works during 2004/05. As no further reactive repairs are likely to be required, it is recommended that that the remaining budget of £483k is drawn down and used to fund additional planned maintenance schemes, as detailed in Appendix ‘F’.

Asset Management

3.11 The highway network is LB Bromley’s most valuable asset, with a replacement value of £1.6 billion. The level of investment made in the Council’s highway assets may become more visible in future years with the introduction of Whole of Government Accounts (WGA). WGA utilises local indicator information to determine the annual depreciation of the asset. This is applied to the gross value to determine the depreciated asset value. Year on year comparisons will then be possible and this will provide an indication of whether the level of investment is appropriate. A continually diminishing asset value may be an indication of an investment level that is too low. Introduction of WGA has been the subject of delay but is likely to be a formalised submission within the next two years.

3.12 The carriageway infrastructure accounts for 75% of the asset valuation. The key to managing the highway asset is timely intervention to minimise expensive structural repairs, as low cost protective maintenance can return the highway asset to near new condition. The latest condition surveys identified that 20% of the borough’s unclassified roads are in need of maintenance, an increase of 2% since the previous survey. This ‘backlog’ of maintenance works is valued as £8m.

3.13 The results of condition modelling in the table below shows how the state of the borough’s carriageways will change during the next five year for various maintenance scenarios;

£2m pa 15

10 % in need of maintenance 5

0 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17

3.14 It can be seen that the current budget of £1m is insufficient to prevent a growing maintenance backlog, whereas a relatively small additional annual investment would enable the Council to start reducing the backlog.

3.15 All highways will deteriorate in a similar manner; the diagram below compares condition against time;

Good A B Condition C

Bad D

Time

5 Page 67

3.16 The highway network includes all classes of road which deteriorate at different rates; the busy principal road network will initially fail due to physical damage whereas quiet cul-de-sac’s will suffer from chemical deterioration. It can be seen that once the initial physical and / or chemical damage has occurred, the rate of deterioration increases due to environmental effects. Unless maintenance works are undertaken the highway will eventually suffer structural failure.

3.17 The key to managing the highway asset is timely intervention to minimise expensive structural repairs, as low cost protective maintenance can return the highway asset to near new condition. The graph above identifies timescales for possible treatment options;

A – Reactive maintenance (patching); £26.68 /sq.m

B – Surface treatment; £ 6.33 /sq.m

C – Replace surface; £ 15.85 /sq.m

D – Full reconstruction; £ 60.08 /sq.m

3.18 Although this model over simplifies the situation, as a proportion of the network has already deteriorated beyond the level for resurfacing or surface replacement, it clearly demonstrates the business case for investment in planned maintenance works and life cycle planning.

3.19 The condition of the borough’s footways is also deteriorating with current investment levels, and while it is not possible to model footway the decline with such accuracy due to the modes of deterioration; utility works, over-running vehicles etc, the ‘backlog’ of repairs will continue to increase, with a commensurate increase in customer complaints and accident claims.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

4.1 The borough’s carriageways and footways have a high profile and are used by most residents and businesses on a daily basis. Maintaining these assets will contribute to the Council’s vision of providing a place where people choose to live and do business and links well with policy priorities of a quality environment, vibrant thriving town centres and supporting independence/ safer communities.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

5.1 Planned maintenance works for Borough roads are funded from the annual revenue highway maintenance budget. The budgets for carriageways and footways are indicated in the table below. It should be noted that these budgets are subject to change following any decisions taken during the forthcoming 2013/14 budget setting process.

5.2 Maintenance of the Principal Road Network is funded by TfL. These funds can only be used for maintenance work on these classified principal roads.

6 Page 68

5.3 A summary of the available funding is set out in the table below: -

Funding £'000 £'000

Revenue - Appendix A Carriageway maintenance 2012/13 budget 1,187 Footway maintenance 2012/13 budget 1,074 2,261

Capital - Appendix D Primary Route Network 2013/14funding from TfL 764

Earmarked Reserves - Appenidces E & F Member Priority Initiatives 750 Street Services Reinstatement Fund 483 1,233

Total funding available 4,258

5.4 Council on the 26 th March 2012 approved the setting aside of £2.26m in an earmarked reserve for Member priority initiatives, £750k of which was allocated to footways, highways and general improvement projects. The Environment Portfolio Holder subsequently agreed a list of schemes that would be funded by this money on 3 July 2012. Officers have been discussing the works with the contractor and orders will be placed imminently to enable the works to be completed by the end of January 2013. Approval is sought for the schemes listed in Appendix E to be funded from the balance of this one-off money.

5.5 Following the agreement of a Deed of Settlement between the Council and NTL in 2003, the Council received a sum of £750k. £200k was transferred to the insurance fund to meet the costs of any potential claims and the balance of £550k was transferred to an earmarked fund for highway works as agreed by the Executive on 23 rd June 2003.

5.6 Highways works totalling £67k were completed during 2004/05, leaving a balance of £483k available for future highways works. This report seeks approval from the Environment Portfolio Holder to use these resources to fund the schemes listed in Appendix F and therefore approval will be sought from the Executive to drawdown these funds during 2013/14.

6. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

6.1 Under the Highways Act 1980 the Council as Highway Authority has duties and is in keeping with its obligations to ensure the safe passage of users of the highway and to maintain the highway.

Ward Councillor Views

1. Have Ward Councillors been asked for comments? N/A.

2. Summary of Ward Councillors comments:

2 Page 90 3. COMMENTARY

3.1 The final draft of the Environment Portfolio Plan for 2012/13 was considered by the PDS Committee on 3 July 2012, and then subsequently agreed by the Portfolio Holder.

3.2 Earlier this year, in consultation with the Environment Portfolio Holder, a selection of priority aims drawn from the Portfolio Plan was put forward for the Council’s 2012/13 Building a Better Bromley commitment. Appendix 1 sets out the progress which has been made on these priority aims.

3.3 A summary of half-year performance against the full set of milestones agreed in the Environment Portfolio Plan 2012/13 is included as Appendix 2.

3.4 With regard to measurable performance, many indicators in the Portfolio Plan are monitored on an annual basis. Where monitoring is more frequent, half-year results are set out below.

3.4.1 During the first half of the year recycling rates have been around 50%. This is comparable to performance in 2011/12, but has fallen slightly short of the aim this year for a 51% recycling rate. Quantities of residual household waste have been marginally higher than in 2011, but should still meet expected levels by the end of the year. The proportion of waste sent to landfill has also been higher than expected, mainly due to the closure of the SELCHP incinerator for 6 weeks. However, it is anticipated that Veolia will provide sufficient incinerator capacity for the annual target to be achieved.

3.4.2 The first tranche street cleansing survey was affected by the adverse wet weather during the spring and summer period. As a result, a higher level of litter and detritus was found in the Rural Roads category. An additional factor was the change of cleansing frequency for country lanes during the summer period. This was changed from fortnightly to four-weekly in the new cleansing contract which commenced on 29 th March 2012. The second and third tranche surveys will be carried out during the latter period of the year where the cleaning frequency remains fortnightly – this should reduce the volume of detritus at survey time and performance should improve. Small increases in litter and detritus were also found in the Industry and Warehousing and High Obstruction Housing categories, attributable to a problem with overflowing litter bins. Changes have been implemented to increase the respective emptying frequencies. Graffiti and fly-posting clearance has been sustained at the high performance level achieved in previous years.

3.4.3 The number of fly-tipping incidents increased during the July-August period. This may not however reflect long-term trends.

3.5 Finally, comparative road safety data for all London boroughs has now been published for 2011. In Bromley during 2011 there were 81 people killed or seriously injured, with 870 injuries and deaths in total.

• Bromley’s killed and seriously injured casualties were 10% lower than in 2010; this was better than the outer London average reduction of 4% • Bromley’s serious injury casualties were down 15% on 2010 levels; this was better than the outer London average (-6%) • However Bromley had 7 fatalities, up from 3 in 2010 • Total casualties in Bromley during 2011 were up 7%, compared to an outer London average reduction of 1% • Casualties (by mode) were up 18% for pedestrians, no change for cyclists, down 14% for motorcycles, and up 4% for car occupants.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

4.1 The 2012/13 Environment Portfolio Plan reflects current policy.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

5.1 The priorities, as set out in this report will be delivered within the resources identified in the Portfolio budget for 2012/13 and any external funding that can be secured.

Building a Better Bromley 2012/13; Half-Year Progress Report

Environment Portfolio

Improve recycling and composting rates, building on the success of Recycling and Composting for all to divert even more waste from landfill

The Waste team continue to visit approx 14,000 customers pa, assisting with practical issues, which includes advice on waste minimisation, recycling, composting and re-use. Presentations have been given to a variety of resident groups, along with activities utilising the Waste promotions vehicle. Waste are co-ordinating with Friends groups and the Bromley Sustainable Schools Forum to provide advice and guidance to schools, businesses and community groups. “Trips to the Tip” and regular presentations to resident’s groups assist in raising the profile of the importance of recycling, re-use and waste minimization.

Introduce a new used textile collection service

New textile bring banks have been installed on all Council sites, and the upgrading of the paper, glass, can and plastic banks will be completed by Q4. Funding is being sought from WRAP to explore the most effective methodology for a kerbside textile service. This will be introduced in Q3, with the aim of expanding borough-wide in Q4. It is intended that this service will be fortnightly, maximising convenience for residents.

Improve our facilities for producing energy and fertiliser from organic waste

We have continued to provide assistance to businesses looking to introduce Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facilities in Bromley, or sufficiently nearby to provide an economic option for the disposal of organic waste. Planning permission has been granted to CountryStyle for an AD plant.

Sustain our standards of street cleanliness

Enforcement by XFOR started on 10 September 2012; the company are issuing an average of 100 FPNs each week. Kier’s vehicle tracking information is now being used to help monitor operations. Overflowing litter bins and weed growth are being addressed by additional programmes of work funded from the £200k contract contingency sum, involving weekend channel sweeping, deep cleaning of residential streets, mobile ‘hot spot’ litter picking beats, and additional litter bin emptying. Discussions with the Probation Service have been held to extend the Community Payback Operations from 2 to 5 days a week, 4 of which could be to assist with street cleansing.

Page 93

Continue to take effective action to improve road safety and reduce accidents

Identified locations for road safety improvement works have been fully investigated – priority locations are being developed further, in consultation with ward Members. Implementation of works will depend on the outcome of the consultation and are programmed for implementation in Q3/Q4. Skid resistant road surfacing:

v Sites have been identified and tests have been carried out. v Further testing will be carried out for new sites. v There are currently 8 large schemes scheduled for implementation, with some already. complete and the rest to be in place by the end of 2012.

Business case approved for SEELS invest-to-save Street Lighting scheme. Launched extranet in September to improve working with LASER. Submitted statutory emissions data for the Council’s own estate and operations to DECC. Salix street lighting project upgraded to LED technology. Discussions held with The Glades to discuss their trial of ultra-efficient LED lighting.

Implement an ‘invest to save’ programme to replace 8,000 aged lamp columns

Tenders have been returned and the programme will be presented to the Executive following Environment PDS on 20 November.

Expand the Street Friends scheme

Residents can now apply on-line to become a Snow Friend or Street Friend, or to join a Friends of Parks group. BYAP (Bromley Youth Advisory Panel) is considering realigning its constitution to encompass voluntary action for streets, in addition to parks and green spaces. Its remit would be to advise on ways to promote and encourage youth engagement to improve the environment.
