EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Government provides funding for maintenance of highways maintainable at public expense in the form of fully supported borrowing as part of the Local Transport Plan (LTP). In its settlement letter dated December 2010, the West Authorities were awarded a sum of money of which £5,364,000 was allocated to Leeds for road maintenance in 2011/12.

1.0 PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT

1.1 This report seeks authority for the design and construction of highway maintenance projects to be carried out on the more important roads estimated to cost more than £5,000. The type of road to be included in the programme is defined by Highway Maintenance Policy Statement and Plan as principal or distributor roads.

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 The Government has again made a specific allocation to Local Authorities for carrying out maintenance work on roads. The allocation for Leeds for the financial year 2011/2012 amounts to £5,364,000.

3.0 MAIN ISSUES

3.1 Design Proposals/Scheme Description

3.1.1 Projects in the Works Programme have been identified in accordance with priorities from condition assessments as described in the approved Highway Maintenance Policy Statement and Plan. Works at certain locations are excluded if they are unable to proceed due to other conflicting proposals such as major junction improvements or proposed developments. With these exceptions projects have been scheduled in accordance with the methodology set out in that policy statement.

The proposed LTP Highways Road Maintenance Programme 2011/2012, for which approval is required, with project descriptions and estimated financial implications, is shown in the Appendices as follows:

Appendix A: Highways Principal Roads Programme 2011/2012 Proposals including schemes on the former trunk road network. Appendix B: Highways Urban Distributor Roads Programme 2011/2012 Proposals Appendix C: Surface Treatments 2011/2012 Proposals.

The provisional schemes in 2012/13, in Appendices A and B will be called upon to complete the year’s programme should other schemes have to be delayed or savings accrue on delivery of the initial schemes, thus allowing a degree of flexibility.

3.1.2 Project Number 1 in Appendix A and B; Minor Works. This budget permits a greater degree of flexibility in dealing with shorter lengths of defective carriageway that contribute to performance indicators. It allows small schemes between the values £5,000 and £30,000 to get promoted as they would otherwise not get done because of the relatively good condition of the surrounding section.

3.1.3 Project Number 2 in Appendix A and B respectively; Surface Treatment is a sum allocated to the surface dressing or microasphalt treatments. The programme for this allocation is shown in Appendix C.

3.1.4 Project 3 in Appendix A; Machine Surveys, sees the continuation of compulsory survey of all classified roads. This is the SCANNER survey. The results of this survey will provide the condition data in 2011/2012 for national road condition indicators 168 and 169. Procurement of this survey will be via a specialist contractor. In addition, surveys on the A roads using the scrim skidding resistance machines will continue in the year 2011/2012.

3.1.5 Project 4 in Appendix A; Drainage Schemes: £118,000 is set aside to carry out localised drainage schemes where water flowing over and standing on the carriageway can compromise the condition of the foundation of the road and result in long term damage or compromise safety . Or where water flowing off the highway may cause damage to private property.

3.1.6 Project 5 in Appendix A; Inner Ring Road Emergency Telephones. The emergency telephones on the Inner Ring Road require a new permanent power supply to ensure continued reliable service. The Police and Peace & Emergency Planning continue to highlight the unreliable power supply to these telephones as a safety concern.

3.2 Consultations

3.2.1 In accordance with normal practice Ward Members will be informed of arrangements regarding programming and traffic management for each project prior to the work commencing.

3.3 Programme

3.3.1 The schemes detailed in the appendices to this report are scheduled for completion during 2011/12 and resources are already in place to deliver the programme through a combination of in-house operations and tendered services.

3.3.2 The programmes may however be subject to minor changes where it may be necessary to add or delete schemes to co-ordinate with other proposed works in the area or to achieve the budget targets or where further investigations identify that the proposed treatment is not appropriate for the site.

4.0 IMPLICATIONS FOR COUNCIL POLICY AND GOVERNANCE

4.1 Compliance with Council Policies

4.1.1 Local Transport Plan (LTP): The Local Transport Plan is an integral part of this report, the funding for all the work proposed is wholly funded from supported borrowing made from the three year Local Transport Capital Expenditure Settlement 2011/12 -2013/14.

4.1.2 Environment Policy: The work will be undertaken in accordance with the principles of the Council’s Environmental Policy. Where appropriate carriageway thin surfacing and the footway slurry sealing will be used as an alternative to conventional resurfacing and reconstruction. This will improve the condition of the street with minimal use of newly quarried materials.

4.1.3 Mobility: Where appropriate dropped kerbs will be provided at road crossings.

4.1.4 Area Delivery Plans: All area delivery plans have a common theme in relation to streetscene. All wish to see an improvement in the condition of the highway within the respective areas and the work proposed in this report is spread throughout the district, therefore having an impact on all areas.

4.2 Council Constitution

4.2.1 This report constitutes a Key Decision and as such it is eligible for call in.

4.3 Community Safety

4.3.1 The proposals contained in this report do not have specific implications under Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.

5.0 LEGAL AND RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

5.1 Scheme Design Estimate

5.1.1 Funding: A sum of £5,364,000 for reconstruction and resurfacing of roads is covered specifically in the Local Roads Capital Expenditure Settlement for 2011/12 and included in the approved Capital Programme, Scheme Number 99509. All allocations are eligible for 100% Government funding.

5.1.2 Subject to any unforeseen circumstances, all the schemes will be completed prior to the end of March 2012. The surface dressing treatment will be completed during summer 2011.

5.1.3 Reserve schemes will be pulled forward from 2012/13 provisional programme as required to ensure expenditure to the limit of the budget allocation in 2011/12. The provisional programmes for 2012/13 and 2013/14 are indicated in Appendices A & B.

5.2 Capital Funding and Cash Flow

Risk Assessments

5.2.1 If these schemes are not undertaken the strategic highway network will deteriorate further which could potentially lead to an increase in claims against the Council.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS

6.1 The Government has provided specific funds to assist in the maintenance of the more strategic routes within the City. The schemes highlighted in this report will help ensure our main roads are kept in a satisfactory condition for the benefit of the public and businesses alike.
