Purpose:

Content: The efficient provision of sufficient, well maintained, safe and appropriately designed highways is a key priority for this Council. The commissioning of a new highways maintenance contract and the pressure being exerted on the county by the Government to facilitate high levels of growth, means that it is essential to deliver highways services that are fit for purpose.   To that end, it is proposed that the Transport Portfolio Holder ensures that: 1.     there is progress in procuring key highways schemes; 2.     issues facing the capital programme are identified; 3.     the Council can more speedily utilise Section 278 and 106 monies; 4.     future maintenance priorities are established within the agreed highways maintenance grant; and 5.     the highways function operates geographically holistically to avoid actions being siloed, taking into account commitments under s278 and s106 agreements and prioritisation of maintenance from a safety perspective.

Date of Decision: September 23, 2025
