The Cabinet Member noted the report which sought approval for the Sustainable Transport Works Plan for 2018/19 financial year and a continuation to the use of the LoHAC contract for street lighting maintenance and emergency callout core services for a further period of up to 18 months to September 2019.

RESOLVED

That the Cabinet Member for Environment: 

·         Approves the Sustainable Transport Works Plan for 2018/19 financial year as set out in the attached Appendix 1 – Ward by Ward breakdown

·         Authorises the Head of Operations to consider any objections and representations to statutory consultation on schemes and to report back to the Cabinet Member for Environment if there are significant or substantial objections or concerns raised:

·         Delegates decisions relating to scheme design to the Head of Operations.

·         Approves a continuation to the use of the LoHAC contract for street lighting maintenance and emergency callout core services for a further period of up to 18 months to September 2019.

Reasons for Decision

To seek authority to proceed to implementation of the proposed works plan.

Alternative options considered

There are no other relevant options as the Council has a statutory obligation to maintain the public highway network. The 2018/19 work plan has been informed by engagement undertaken by Transport Planning with Members and other key stakeholders; and highway condition surveys and visual highways inspections.

The programme includes transport schemes previously agreed by Cabinet in November 2017 via the LiP Annual Spending Submission and funded by Transport for London (TfL). The funding is an interim arrangement awaiting the production the Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS) and subsequent production of Haringey’s third Local Implementation Plan (LIP). It should however be noted that, following approval by Cabinet of the LIP Annual Spending Submission (ASS), TfL have reduced the expected settlement, which will affect the projects that can be delivered through the STWP.

Council funded capital projects included within the programme were approved by Cabinet on the 14th June 2016 as part of the Capital Strategy and 10-year Capital Programme. Council at its budget setting meeting of the 26th February 2018 agreed additional schemes which are included within the table in 6.2

To consider any items admitted at item 2 above.

None.
