14.2

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee:-

 

i.               Approves the proposed use of 2024/25 LaNTCP programme funding, set out in this report, noting that it is subject to:

a.    Detailed development of individual proposals;

b.    The capital approval process;

c.     Any necessary development and regulatory consents.

 

ii.              Continues to delegate authority to the Head of Strategic Transport, Sustainability, and Infrastructure to make reserved commissioning decisions where they are necessary in order to progress these schemes to completion.

 

 

14.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

14.3.1

For the reasons outlined previously, the investment in local transport. schemes will ultimately help to address the ambitions of Members and deliver against the requests of the Sheffield public, without reliance on external funding opportunities or incorporating these improvements into wider major investment projects. The primary objectives of the fund are detailed below:

 

14.3.2

The expected benefits from this fund are centred primarily on the community, with improved transport connectivity increasing mobility and accessibility, creating a greater sense of safety, enhancing the environmental amenity and improving health by supporting more active. travel movements. In addition, there would be fewer road traffic collisions. through design and modest associated mode shift.

 

14.3.3

The proposed transport capital programme balances the availability of funding sources with local and national policy to give a clear focus for the 2024/25 financial year.

 

 

14.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

14.4.1

‘Do nothing’ has been considered, but is not considered appropriate as this will result in projects not being delivered. The LaNTCP would not introduce the opportunity for economic, environmental, and societal benefits will be missed.

14.4.2

It would also be possible to consider a different balance between types of schemes as part of the programme. However, it is felt that the proposed programme achieves a good balance of economic, environmental, and societal benefits to the communities and businesses in Sheffield.
