Local and Neighbourhood Transport Complimentary Programme and Road Safety Fund Programmes - 22/23 delivery update

Report of the Executive Director-City Futures.

Decision:

9.1

The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, City Futures that updated on the delivery of the Local and Neighbourhood Transport Complimentary (formerly known as the Local Transport Plan) and Road Safety Fund capital programmes, as approved by committee on 15th June 2022.

 

It also seeks approval to proceed with taking variations within the programme through the Councils capital approval process.

 

 

 

9.2

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

 

 

    i.           Notes progress on the Local and Neighbourhood Transport Complimentary (formally known as the Local Transport Plan Integrated Transport Block) and Road Safety Fund programmes, as approved by committee on 15th June 2022;

 

   ii.           Approves the variations within the 2022/23 programmes (highlighted in section 1.11 and Appendix A), noting the individual projects will still need to go through the Councils capital process – to be approved by the Strategy and Resources committee

 

  iii.           Notes the increase in spend profiled in 2023/24

 

 

 

9.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

9.3.1

The proposed LaNTP and RSF programmes balances the availability of funding sources with local and national policy to give a clear focus for the 2022/23 financial year, with an opportunity for changes to be considered by Committee that could be made in future years of the current 5-year programme. The proposed programme is extensive and ambitious which comes with its own challenges. The programme utilises internal and external funding sources and staff resources to deliver change to the transport system, considering environmental, economic and societal needs.

 

 

 

9.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

9.4.1

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

 

 

 

9.4.2

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