Funding
Funding for transport schemes is secured from:
When funding is secured at the beginning of the year, a timetable of planned works is drawn up. We look at Local Area Transport Strategies across the county and decide which schemes to include in the programme.
Schemes are then prioritised using the 'balanced scorecard' process. This takes into account works that will best contribute to our Local Transport Plan targets, such as pedestrian safety and reducing congestion.
The scheduling of works is also affected by the design process and works that are funded by development contributions.
The programme is discussed informally at a cross-party member panel before formal approval at the Transport and Environment Lead Member meeting.
