Issue - decisions

The Executive Councillor (Economic Development & Regeneration) has approved the Transportation Capital Programme for 2014/15.

The Transportation Capital Programme for 2014/15 is funded from a variety of sources including the Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan, additional maintenance funding from the Government, various successful bids including some as part of Greater Manchester bids e.g. Cycle City Ambition Grant and the Local Sustainable Transport Fund and individual bids for the Pinchpoint Fund, drainage schemes etc.

The maintenance related programmes are developed using a needs based approach incorporating the outcome of detailed condition surveys. Other elements are focused on supporting corporate priorities and the detailed criteria required by individual funding sources.

The Executive has approved a Highways Investment Programme as part of its budget considerations and a separate report will be developed relating to this programme. The work undertaken to determine the investment programme has informed the prioritisation of schemes for this programme.

The Environment & Economy Scrutiny Committee considered the proposals prior to the decision being taken.
