Decision details

The Highway and Transport Delivery Programmes identify capital highways infrastructure maintenance and transport improvement schemes for delivery during 2020/21 and beyond. Capital funding for the Delivery Programmes is predominantly received from the Government for roads maintenance (the Local Highway Maintenance Block), and transport improvements (the Integrated Transport Block) supported by additional funding from developer agreements and contributions.

The indicative forward programmes for Highway Infrastructure Maintenance, Local Transport Improvements (LTIP) and Community Highway Schemes (CHS), have informed the 2020/21 Highways and Transport Delivery Programmes. These provide transparency of the maintenance and improvements investment needs, and the funding priorities prepared and selected for review and approval in this decision.

The Cabinet Member has approved:

(1)  The Highway and Transport Delivery Programme 2020/21, to allow implementation of schemes for delivery from 1 April 2020. (Appendix 1)

(2)  That the Highway and Transport Delivery Programme 2020/21 is circulated to County Local Committees and other appropriate stakeholders for their information and published on the West Sussex highways webpages. (Appendix 2 - part a and b)

(3)  That the Director of Highways, Transport and Planning has delegated authority to adjust the Highway and Transport Delivery Programme 2020/21 to take account of budgetary pressures and any changes in priority arising as a result of network availability, emergencies, or other operational circumstances, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure.
