Decision - 2009/10 Local Transport Plan Capital Programme

(1)       That the Cabinet Member for Environment  approves the allocation of the £5.79 million  2009/10 Local Transport Plan settlement to specific Integrated Transport and Maintenance schemes as set out in Appendix A of the report.

(2)       That the Cabinet Member for Environment approves the allocation of the Road Safety Grant of £476,000 to the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership to continue the important funding of casualty reduction measures in the area.

To approve the allocation of the 2009/10 LTP2 capital programme across key areas of work and enable works to be continued or started.

The proposed programme is consistent with the principles and programmes of work established in the approved LTP2 document.  Any significant variation from these could result in more detailed scrutiny of the investment programme by the government and raises the possibility of reductions in future LTP funding.  Capital investment is essential to deliver national and local transport objectives and targets.
