Decision details

That the Executive accepted and noted the addition of £1.069m of new funding from the Department for Transport to the capital programme for 2023/24 and 2024/25 to be used to deliver the current priorities in the list of identified maintenance schemes.

Reason for Recommendation: This additional funding will add to the existing capital  budgets for highway maintenance and enable more maintenance schemes to be completed.

Alternative Options Considered:The Council could choose to not accept the additional funding from government which would result in a real terms reduction in funding for highway maintenance as current allocations for this year and next year make no provision for inflation.
