This is a separate capital budget to the Annual plan Local Transport Plan capital budget and costs will be reported against the budget line.

The Acting Assistant Director has determined that the most effect way to deliver this additional investment is through the Public Realm Services Contract given that the proposed works are within the scope of that contract.

Therefore the following will be added to the Annual Plan:

£2,000,000 C & U Roads – the programme is to be derived from information gained from current Visalia surveys and will be the subject of a further decision by the Cabinet Member and adjustment to the Annual Plan by the Acting Assistant Director.
