Minutes:
Members considered a report which set out the funding sources for the City Strategy Capital Programme and the proposed schemes within the programme to be delivered in the 2009/10 financial year, together with options for the use of additional funding expected from the Regional Funding Allocation.
The base budget of £5,052k approved at Full Council on 26 February 2009 was funded from the Local Transport Plan (LTP), Cycling City grant, Road Safety grant and developer contributions. The Transport Capital Programme included a number of previously committed schemes, programmed for delivery over the next few years, for which funds would need to be allocated in 2009/10. Details were set out in paragraphs 4 to 12 of the report. Details of allocations to all the main blocks within the budget, including the committed schemes and the allowance for over-programming, were provided in paragraphs 13 to 25 and Annex 1.
The Regional Funding Advice to Ministers issued on 27 February included a proposal to vire funds from the Region’s Major Schemes Block into the Integrated Transport and Highways Maintenance Blocks of local authorities. It was understood that York would thus receive additional funding of £1,461k in 2009/10 and £1,316k in 2010/11, enabling some major schemes to be progressed more quickly. Options presented for use of this funding were:
Option 1 (Outer Ring Road Improvements) - development work to progress Haxby Station and Access York Phase 2 schemes and implement improvements to the Outer Ring Road.
Option 2 (Targeted Citywide Improvements) – development work for the Haxby Station and Access York Phase 2 schemes and delivery of schemes in the LTP block to meet Local Area Agreement and LTP targets.
In respect of Option 1, Cllr Vassie voiced concern that spending a large sum on improving the Outer Ring Road might be inconsistent with the Council’s commitment to a modal shift away from private car use. Other Members noted that reducing congestion on the ring road was also a Council priority and a necessary precursor to achieving improvements for pedestrians and cyclists.
Having noted the comments of the Shadow Executive on this item, it was
RESOLVED: (i) That the base 2009/10 City Strategy Transport Capital Programme be approved as set out below (amendments to the list at Annex 1 to the report highlighted in bold), subject to the addition of the cycling schemes agreed under the previous item (Minute 212 refers).1
