Summary: This report updates Members on the identified schemes approved for construction

 

 

1. Introduction

 

This report provides an update and summarises schemes that have been programmed for delivery in 2019/20.

 

Kent County Council has agreed a substantial increase in the budget for planned highway works over the next three years, and as a result we are still in the process of identifying and designing schemes for inclusion in our full Year One to Two (2019/20 and 2020/21) and Year Three to Five (2021/22 to 2023/24) programmes. Because of this, we have decided to publish an interim programme, and to publish the full programmes later this year.  For some assets this interim programme covers approximately the first six months of 2019/20, whilst for others it includes most of the works planned for the whole year.

 

This programme is subject to regular review and may change for several reasons including budget allocation, contract rate changes, and to reflect KCC’s changing priorities. The programme and extent of individual sites within the programme may also be revised following engineering assessment during the design phase.

Local Growth Fund

 

Local Growth Fund programme update for Maidstone Borough  

 

 

The Department for Transport (DfT) added £100m to the Local Growth Fund (LGF) pot in order to fund Local Sustainable Transport Fund Style schemes.  KCC were successful in securing LGF for the following sustainable transport style bids1) Kent Thameside – Integrated door-to-door journeys and 2) West Kent – Tackling Congestion.  The objective of the capital bids is to boost economic growth by decreasing carbon emissions and reducing congestion.

 

The schemes aim to:

 

·         improve access to employment and services

·         reduce the need to travel by the private car

·         enhance pedestrian, cycle and public transport facilities

·         improve sustainable transport connections 

 

The following schemes have been submitted as part of the successful Kent Thameside/West Kent (delete as applicable) LSTF this financial year.

 

 

Scheme

Status

MAIDSTONE EAST STATION IMPROVEMENTS

Following the discovery of Asbestos at the Maidstone East Station site Network Rail concluded that the current contractor should stand down and an Asbestos and demolition specialist appointed due to the timelines given by the previous contractor. This has resulted in the existing scaffolding being removed and replaced by the new contractor Rhodar. The new scaffolding will be in place by end July. The completion date for the overall programme will remain unknown until the scaffolding and demolition is clear and the programmes can be aligned. Any public enquiries are being dealt with by Network Rail. Additional KSIP funding has now been confirmed to progress further highway improvements and walking and cycling connections to the station.

Description of Works

Current Status

18/19-S106-MA-486

A20 Ashford Road

Harrietsham

Village improvement works: 2 phase approach as not all of the S106 developer contributions have been collected. A final contribution of £171,500 is due from Bellway Homes in a couple of years pending the rate of their build and occupancy.

Phase 1 which consisted of narrowing the carriageway, widening footways to allow shared footway/cycleway, altering the controlled crossing, provision of central islands and changes to the speed limits and associated signing and lining.

Phase 2 will include relocating street lighting columns to better suit the new road layout and to extend the lighting to include all of the 30mph limit. Resurfacing of the carriageway to hide the old white lining and then new lining to the recently installed layout.

It is likely that there will not be sufficient S106 funds to cover all of Phase 2, however KCC is investigating final costs for phase 1, what the estimated costs for phase 2 will be and will then investigate how any funding gap can be dealt with to allow the second phase to be delivered without delay. Bellway Homes have offered to pay early the S106 contribution as long as they do not have to pay the index link which amounts to about £12,500 if KCC/Maidstone BC accepted the offer now.

Phase 1 Works completed in June 2019. KCC investigating how phase 2 can be brought forward as there is a potential funding gap and whether to collect the remaining S106 contribution from Bellway Homes now less the indexation.

18/19-S106-MA-819

Linton Crossroads

Linton/Loose

Junction/signal upgrade

Finalising designs however the estimated cost of the alterations is significantly above the S106 contributions available. KCC is to investigate how any funding gap can be dealt with. It is hoped that a public consultation can be undertaken around October/November with implementation in 2020 pending all land, environmental and funding issues being resolved.
