Decision details

This report provides details of the proposed transportation capital programme for 2021/22 and indicative programmes for future years.

The transportation capital programme is funded from a variety of sources including Local Transport Plan (LTP) funding via the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, specific grants from Government including pothole funding, and individual scheme bids e.g. the Mayors Walking and Cycling Fund (MCF), Town Centre Access Plan (TCAP) and A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road (A6MARR). Schemes are also funded by developers via the section 106 and 278 processes. The Council is also borrowing to fund both the Highways Investment Programme (HIP) and the Street Lighting LED Replacement Programme.

LTP for 2021/22 is expected to be £3.131m. Local Transport Plan Funding is used to pay for asset maintenance programmes including Street Lighting, Highways Drainage, Highways Structures, PROW, and Flood Risk Management.

The Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration has approved the proposed transportation capital programme for 2022/23.
