DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

REPORT TO CABINET 13 FEBRUARY 2008

THE SOUTH LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN: A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT, AND PROPOSED ‘LOCAL’ ALLOCATIONS FOR 2008/09.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 This report describes the Local Transport Plan Capital Allocation for 2008/09. It also advises Cabinet on recent discussions and progress on developing and delivering more schemes on a joint basis with partners. Members are asked to endorse this, and approve the principle of developing new programmes of work as described below.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 The Local Transport Plan (LTP) process is sponsored on a national basis by the Department for Transport (DfT). The second round of LTPs, covering the 2006-2011 time period is more geared to performance management than the first, and DfT has made it clear that it expects Local Authorities to use an analytical evidence-based approach to ensure that best value for money solutions are implemented and agreed targets and performance indicators are delivered. Nationally, LTP2 gives a major focus to Central Government’s ‘shared priorities’ for transport, i.e. road safety, air quality, congestion, and accessibility. All local authorities have to explain the contribution of LTP proposals towards these ‘shared priority’ themes and the impact on achieving key targets and Performance Indicators.

2.2 DfT is increasingly emphasising the importance of the monitoring progress towards LTP targets, to demonstrate good stewardship of their resources. DfT can, and have, set “bonuses and/or penalties” over or below their guideline resource levels for each authority, based on performance towards LTP targets. The last occasion resource levels were adjusted was the LTP1 Delivery Report in March 2006. The next Progress Report will be the LTP2 ‘Mid-point Report’, required in July 2008.

2.3 DfT Guidance therefore heavily influences the make-up of the overall South Yorkshire LTP Capital Programme, and the governance and management structures adopted at both sub-regional and regional levels to deliver this. The South Yorkshire LTP Partnership team was established to co-ordinate this process.

2.4 Discussions between South Yorkshire Leaders, Senior Managers and the SYLTP Partnership team have resulted in an agreed understanding of the need to improve ways of delivering LTP objectives and targets. A new monitoring and reporting structure across the county has been established, and a new approach to jointly developing and delivering a South Yorkshire Transport Capital Programme is now proposed in order to further improve our collective performance.

3.0 A COUNTYWIDE APPROACH TO PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT

3.1 DfT made it clear last Autumn that they were going to provide defined funding for all three years remaining of the LTP2 programme (2008 – 2011). In doing this, DfT asked what mechanism the five South Yorkshire authorities might wish to use to allocate funding. Until now, this mechanism has simply been based on size of population, plus an agreed allocation of 25% for SYPTE.

3.2 One of the issues the LTP process has to demonstrate is how funding decisions reflect strategic priorities, and the South Yorkshire partners have been looking to clarify this for some time. It was therefore agreed at Chief Executive level that the Partners should use this opportunity to bring South Yorkshire into line with other excellent rated areas who allocate their funds following a strategy led model.

3.3 South Yorkshire currently receives approx £22.5m per annum for Integrated Transport projects (excluding maintenance and ‘major schemes’, i.e. those greater than £5m). It has been agreed to allocate 50% of this to create a new ‘central pot’ held by the PTA (acting as banker). This will fund a new £11.2m county-wide programme of strategic schemes, those most important in delivering LTP objectives and targets, whilst being distributed as equitably as possible across the partners.

3.4 It is considered that the make-up of this new strategic programme will include:

 a new £1.0m county-wide programme of tackling road accidents on main roads. A Consultants’ study of the top ten locations was published in January 2008, six of these locations being in ;  the remaining three year programme of Objective One – related schemes (previously funded using ‘Supplementary LTP funds but now incorporated into the overall allocation). The various city centre transport projects built over the last five years have been from this source, e.g. Eyre Street, Arundel Gate and Granville Square. Sheffield’s share of this programme in 2008/09 is £1.95m out of £3.3m.  the programme of schemes developed to tackle congestion on the Target Routes described in the South Yorkshire Congestion Delivery Plan (including permit parking schemes adjacent to the Target Routes);  programmes of strategic public transport improvement schemes, including Quality Partnership Schemes, bus hotspots and Park & Ride projects.

3.5 Sheffield City Council officers are involved in the development of the overall programme of schemes described above for funding from the ‘central pot’, and it is expected that the value of ‘Sheffield’ schemes funded in this way will be approx £4m. 3.6 The remaining £11.2m will be split among the partners to fund schemes which are more ‘local’ in nature, but which are still materially contributing to progress on the LTP. This includes the following:

 accident saving schemes;  Child Safety Zones;  danger reduction schemes;  ‘Safe Routes to School ‘ schemes;  school and workplace Travel Plan schemes;  permit parking schemes not linked to Congestion Target Routes;  pedestrian crossing schemes;  footway schemes;  cycling schemes;  local traffic management and enforcement schemes.

3.7 Sheffield’s share of this ‘local’ funding has been confirmed by DfT as £4.58m in 2008/09, rising to £4.66m and £4.72m in 2009/10 and 2010/11 respectively.

3.8 Sheffield’s current total LTP -IT allocation in 2007/08 is approx. £5.9m for Integrated Transport schemes plus £1.95m for the separately funded Objective 1 – related programme, totalling approx £8m. For 2008/09, the equivalent Sheffield allocation will be the confirmed ‘local’ funding of £4.58m plus Sheffield schemes approved as part of the South Yorkshire strategic programme. This will be determined by the end of January. The long list of possible schemes is attached in Appendix 1.

3.9 It can be seen therefore that the overall amount of funds allocated to Sheffield could increase through this new ‘needs-based’ process. It is unlikely to be less than funds currently received although there is a slight risk that this could happen were there to be more high priority schemes elsewhere.

4.0 PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT ISSUES ARISING FROM PROPOSED CHANGES.

4.1 As part of developing a new centrally funded strategic programme, it is necessary to be able to demonstrate why and how these projects are important in delivering LTP objectives and targets. The South Yorkshire Partners have therefore developed a new template which summarises the likely benefits accruing from each scheme. This template has been agreed for use on all projects funded from the ‘strategic’ central programme. The template is attached for Members’ information and endorsement in Appendix 2.

4.2 For local schemes, it is intended to continue using the current assessment mechanisms already endorsed by Members for existing blocks of expenditure. This has brought clarity and consistency to the overall process since 2001 and importantly has maintained the respect of Members from all parties and from the general public. 4.3 The current processes are therefore proposed to be continued for the following block allocations:

 accident savings schemes;  Child Safety Zones;  danger reduction schemes;  ‘safe routes to school’ schemes;  school and workplace travel plan schemes;  permit parking schemes;  pedestrian crossing schemes; and  footway schemes.

4.4 In two areas however, new initiatives have recently arisen that merit recognition when schemes are being developed, namely cycling schemes and camera enforcement / urban clearway enforcement schemes.

Cycle Action Plan projects

4.5 Following consultation with a range of stakeholders, the Sheffield Cycle Action Plan was approved via Band A report in July 2006. The priority resulting from the consultation work was to join-up the currently disjointed set of cycle facilities, to create a network of routes.

4.6 The Plan covers the period 2006 – 2011 and sets out a co-ordinated approach to increasing cycle use, including information, promotion, training and new routes. It includes a programme of schemes to join-up current cycle facilities to create a network of routes, Listed in Appendix 3, these schemes will form the basis for the allocation of LTP resources.

4.7 In addition to this, Members will be aware that in a recent televised competition to identify the favourite project for National Lottery funding of £50m, the SUSTRANS ‘Connect 2’ project was the winner. This is a collection of about 50 schemes around the country, one of which is local to our area. The intention is to provide a series of cycle routes linking communities in Killamarsh (North ) to villages in South and Halfway in Sheffield. The project will provide a new pedestrian /cycle bridge along Station Road over the River Rother plus new lengths of segregated pedestrian and cycling tracks between Halfway, Killamarsh and Rother Valley Park. The total project costs over £2m and requires a contribution of approx £250,000 from Sheffield. This is seen as a very good value for money way of tackling a longstanding problem of road safety on Station Road and also provides improved access from Killamarsh to the Supertram terminus at Halfway.

Camera Enforcement Schemes

4.8 This is a new area of work, following the successful implementation of CCTV enforcement at the bus / gates from July 2007 onwards. Members also authorised design work to commence for the bus / tram gate on Glossop Road, for installation in Spring 2008. 4.9 The method for prioritising further sites for camera enforcement is based around available technology and achieving outcomes in terms of improved public transport journey time and reliability. Priority is being given to those sites that are already connected to the fibre-optic network linked to the monitoring stations in the Town Hall and where there is most significant potential for delays to bus passengers. These sites do not require as yet untried wireless technology to enable enforcement to be carried out. The sites currently under development are Spital Hill / Wicker; Savile Street; Nursery Street; Cumberland Street; and other bus priority facilities associated with the Northern Inner Relief Road. These priorities are largely driven by other opportunities such as the completion of other large schemes and the desire to maximise the benefits of associated measures.

4.10 There are also sites where either the bus lane signs need to be brought up to the necessary standard to enable camera enforcement or possibly the use of wireless camera technology. These sites are recommended for early development and delivery through this block and include Duke Street; Bridge Street / Castlegate; Road; South Lane / St. Mary’s Gate; and Boston Street. A review of other potential sites for camera enforcement is being carried out in conjunction with the public transport operators and South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive as part of the Punctuality Improvement Partnership.

5.0 PROPOSED ‘LOCAL’ ALLOCATIONS FOR 2008/09

5.1 The public response to the ‘Plan for ’ highlighted the importance of improving road safety, tackling congestion and improving the quality of public transport. This is recognised by treating all three of these issues as strategic issues as set out in section 4, and will also be reflected in the key transport indicators emerging within the Local Area Agreement process.

5.2 The ‘Plan for Transport’ consultation also highlighted other public concerns of a more local nature, suitable for being addressed with the ‘Sheffield’ element of LTP funds. This included requests for improving: road safety; local traffic management issues; conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and motorbikes; the structural fabric of local roads; access for people with disabilities; more enforcement action; more car parking ; more Residents Parking Zones; and requests for information on why the network is managed in a specific way at a specific location (for example traffic light timings).

5.3 In the light of the issues raised by the public as described above, and given existing commitments and emerging issues, it is proposed that a programme of ‘local’ improvements based on the existing activity blocks should be implemented as set out below:

 Local Road Safety Work (£1.05m). A continuation of the high priority given to reducing road accidents including Accident Saving Schemes (£400k), Child Safety Zones (£500k) and Danger Reduction schemes (£150k). This is additional to the emerging priorities for the South Yorkshire - wide strategic road safety programme.

 School Related Safety work (£0.550m). Work on improving the safety of routes to schools and at school entrances (£200k), together with £240k for a rolling programme of new measures arising from adopted School Travel Plans, and £110k for increased Road Safety Education, Training and Publicity work with schools.

 Local Accessibility Schemes (£1.340m). This includes new schemes for pedestrians, people with disabilities and cyclists together with links to strategies and programmes for Housing Market Renewal (HMR) projects. It includes the following:

o £250k for the rolling Cycle Action Plan programme; o £250k contribution towards the SUSTRANS ‘Connect2’ project; o £400k for new & improved pedestrian crossing facilities, an increase of £200k on this year’s allocation, reflecting the number of requests; o £50k for providing footways where none exist at present; o £100k for the Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan, working up to a ‘full’ programme of £300k in 2009/10 once flood remedial work is complete; o £100k for new ‘Smarter Choices’ work, building on the successful recent ‘Carbon Quids’ marketing campaign; o £20k for improved facilities for taxis and their passengers; o £50k for community transport contributions. o £120k for Area Panel projects.

 Local Congestion Schemes (£0.57m). This is in addition to funding for strategic congestion schemes from the ‘South Yorkshire’ allocation. It includes the following:

o £200k for ‘start-up’ costs (road signs, lines, ticket machines etc) for the ongoing programme of Permit Parking schemes around the City Centre and within Hillsborough, with an additional contribution of £200k from the income from Penalty Charge Notices issued within existing permit parking schemes; o £100k for a local traffic calming scheme on Taplin Road, Hillsborough (subsequent to the camera enforcement work on the tramgates); o £50k for continued strategic congestion modelling; o £100k for continued management and enforcement of traffic regulations, notably extending urban clearway times as part of an approved rolling programme; o Camera enforcement of bus lanes and gates (self financing); o £50k for contributing to and enhancing Workplace Travel Plans; o £10k contribution to the continued development of the Sheffield Car Club; o £60k for continued traffic related air quality monitoring.  Other miscellaneous small schemes and contributions (£1.07m), including the following:

o £400k local contribution to bus priority and traffic management elements of the Inner Relief Road scheme; o £120k contributions to various other initiatives; o £50k for overall LTP monitoring work.

6.0 LTP MAINTENANCE SETTLEMENT

6.1 The Highway Capital maintenance allocation is £5.22m, derived from the DfT national formula for assessing road condition. These resources will allow the following programmes to proceed:

 £1m for repairs and/or strengthening of bridges and highway structures;  £1.7m for a programme of Principal Roads maintenance schemes;  £2.5m for a programme of local roads maintenance schemes.

6.2 The 2009/10 and 2010/11 Highway Capital maintenance allocations for Sheffield are £5.61m and £6.07m respectively. These allocations may however be overtaken by decisions taken on whether Sheffield’s Highways Maintenance PFI Bid has been successful.

7.0 EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

7.1 This report deals with a proposed strategic delivery process, and related financial allocations. There are therefore no equal opportunities implications arising directly from the content of this report. The Local Transport Plan itself sets out the way in which the Programme and schemes within it promote equal opportunities for all.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS; PROPERTY IMPLICATIONS

8.1 There are no particular property implications arising directly from the content of this report. A key feature of the Local Transport Plan schemes is to enhance the environment of the City, particularly to improve air quality.

9.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

9.1 This report deals with the overall principles of allocating pre-determined LTP funds across South Yorkshire. For 2008/09, all LTP - IT funding is provided as Direct Grant by DfT as indicated in the recent LTP Settlement Letter, and the Maintenance allocation continues to be in the form of Supported Borrowing Approval. A CPA form for the ‘local’ programme and the maintenance programme is attached to this report, a further CPA form for the ‘central’ LTP programme will be reported to Cabinet when details of this programme have been finalised. 10.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

Members are recommended to:

10.1 Endorse the principle of a central South Yorkshire programme of strategic LTP projects as an improved means of delivering LTP objectives and targets. This comprises 50% of the total ‘integrated Transport’ LTP funds received by South Yorkshire, the other 50% being distributed among the LTP Partners for ‘local’ schemes;

10.2 Endorse the Programmes of ‘Local’ Integrated Transport and Highway Capital Maintenance Block Allocations now proposed for 2008/09 as set out in sections 5 and 6;

10.3 Note the new template being used to assess the potential benefits of all ‘strategic’ projects, and the various potential schemes listed in appendix 1 which might qualify for inclusion in the strategic LTP Programme. A further report to be submitted to Cabinet when this strategic South Yorkshire programme has been drafted;

10.4 Endorse the two new programmes of ‘local’ measures arising from recent initiatives described in paras 4.4 – 4.10, in particular welcoming the funding provided through the Sustrans ‘Connect2’ national initiative; and

10.5 Approve the attached CP Form A in respect of the Local Transport Programme for 2007/08.

7 Financial Summary

The cycle route network will be developed from a variety of funding sources. These include developer contributions, regeneration funding, Sustrans and the Local transport Plan.

In recent years, the LTP allocation for cycling schemes has been between £75,000 and £200,000 per annum, not counting route development within the City Centre, which has been carried out via the City Centre funding ‘pot’. It is important to recognise that the implication of the proposals in the Action Plan is a significant increase in allocation to cycling schemes from the Local transport Plan.

The estimated total cost of the Cycle Action Plan proposals is as follows:

Year Estimated total cost Estimated LTP contribution Estimated regeneration / £000s £000s developer contribution £000s 2006/07 456 200 + 61 (connect cycle 195 signage) 2007/08 460 225 235
