Cabinet member portfolio PLACE (INVESTMENT AND HOUSING) Electoral wards affected: ALL Ward councillors consulted: N/A Public or private: PUBLIC 1. Purpose of report For Cabinet to consider a revised Capital Plan for the highways programme of capital works in 2011/12 (this is a key decision in line with the Council’s constitution – May 2002) 2. Key points 2.1 The Highways Capital Plan for 2011/12 has been revised to reflect scheme progress and outturn expenditure through the year to date. Appendix A is a summary of the updated plan. Appendix B shows the proposed Capital Plan in detail and Appendix C shows the summary of changes since the 1 year plan was approved by Council on 11 October 2011. 2.2 The approved 5 year Capital Plan makes provision for funding of £16.181m in 2011/12. The revised Capital Plan includes a £0.278m net reduction in funding for 2011/12 resulting in revised capital plan funding of £15.903m in 2011/12. CAB-11-055 Revision of Highways 2011/12 Capital Plan 2.3 At week 32 of this financial year 59% of the Capital Plan has been spent. The Service is on course to spend 100% of the Capital Plan. 2.4 In order to achieve 100% expenditure there is an element of overprogramming within programmes that will give some flexibility towards the end of the financial year. If there is a delay in more complex schemes, or schemes are delivered under budget then there is the flexibility to advance schemes from the 2012/13 programme. 2.5 The updated plan includes £72,000 Capital virements from Local Area Committee budgets or revenue income for works undertaken through the highways capital programme. 2.6 The significant change arises from reprofiling the 3 year Integrated Transport programme with £350,000 LTP expenditure deferred to future years. The bus priority scheme at A644 Scout Hill / Aire Street has been deleted due to significant increases in the scheme estimate from £170,000 to approximately £450,000. This increased cost means that the scheme now doesn’t represent particularly good value for money. It is proposed that the spend be transferred to accelerate the delivery of an integrated transport corridor improvement scheme that will benefit pedestrians, cyclists and bus users from A644 Fall Lane to Dewsbury in 2012/13. £170,000 of LTP grant expenditure has been deferred to 2012/13 to facilitate this. Works associated with improvements to both traffic management and the public realm in Huddersfield Town centre have been deferred to 2012/13 to allow more design and consultation to be undertaken. This represents a deferred amount of £180,000 LTP grant and £110,000 Kirklees capital expenditure re-allocated to Local Community Roads 2011/12 with a payback in 2012/13. 2.7 Otherwise the changes generally represent the effects of adjustment in works programmes between financial years, new scheme selection and co-ordination of schemes across all highways programmes to minimise disruption on the highway. 3. Implications for the Council This Capital Plan will allow significant progress in improving the highway network across the authority. 4. Consultees and their opinions Strategic Finance have been consulted and are in agreement with the contents of this report. 5. Next steps Highways will continue to manage the delivery of schemes within the Capital Plan. 6. Officer recommendations and reasons That the 2011/12 Capital Plan revision be approved 7. Cabinet portfolio holder recommendation I support the officer recommendation. CAB-11-055 Revision of Highways 2011/12 Capital Plan 8.
