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 2020/21.

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 (2020/21 and 2021/22) and Year Three to Five (2022/23 to 2024/25) 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 2020/21, 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 the Maidstone District.

The Department for Transport (DfT) added �100m to the Local Growth Fund (LGF) pot 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	Works on the station improvements commenced in January 2020, with the temporary ticket office installed by South Eastern operational since January 2020. Contract Completion date has been delayed due to emerging changes to designs in some areas and working restrictions due to COVID 19 with an estimated completion of March 2021. While works on the public realm area are progressing, restrictions on internal works in the station building necessitate different working practices, creating inefficiency and slowing progress.� Artist impression images of the final design have been attached to the site hoarding to provide the public with a vision for the scheme.� KCC Schemes team are working closely with NR, SE, and MBC to co-ordinate the highway & forecourt design with the raised table. A site meeting to take place late 21st December to co-ordinate a start date of the Week Street project in the Feb �21 school holidays. MBC are progressing with the wayfinding design which will tie in the wider improvement works.� SE have awarded the contractor to complete the additional works within the funding timescales.� However, they have a strong dependency on the completion of the forecourt works delivered by Network Rail and are working together to monitor progress and will phase their works accordingly.

Appendix I � Winter Report

Summary:� This report outlines the arrangements that have been made between Kent County Council and Maidstone Borough Council to provide a local winter service in the event of an operational snow alert in the borough/district

Introduction

1 (1)�� Kent County Council Highways, Transportation & Waste (KCC HTW) takes its winter service responsibilities very seriously and is proactive as well as reactive to winter weather conditions.� Winter service costs KCC in the region of �3.3m every winter and needs careful management to achieve safety for the travelling public and to be efficient. The Highways Operations teams in HTW work to ensure that the winter service standards and decisions made are consistent across the whole county.�

1(2) HTW prepares an annual Winter Service policy and plan which are used to determine actions that will be taken to manage its winter service operations. The policy was presented to the Environment and Transport Cabinet Committee on 15^th September 2020 and subsequently approved by the Cabinet Member.

District based winter service plans

2(1) The Local Winter Service Plan for the Maidstone District is a working document which will evolve and be revised as necessary throughout the year.� This document complements the KCC Winter Service Policy and Plan 2020/21; the Policy is available on the KCC website.�

2(2) Following successful work in previous years with district councils, arrangements have again been put in place this year whereby labour from district councils can be used during snow days. Additionally, HTW will supply a quantity of a salt/sand mixture to district councils to use on the highway network. The details are contained in the plan which enhances the work that HTW will continue to do in providing a countywide winter service. The local plan comes into effect when a snow emergency is declared that affects the district of Maidstone.

Pavement clearance

3 (3) Areas for clearing pavements have been identified in the local plan. These are the areas where local knowledge has indicated that people are concerned and would most like to be kept clear when there is snow and ice.

Farmers

4(1) The work that our contracted farmers have done in recent years is greatly appreciated and has made a big difference in keeping rural areas clear on snow days. Again, this year farmers will have predetermined local routes and will use their own tractor and KCC ploughs for clearing snow. The ploughs supplied are serviced by KCC each year. Each farmer will have plans detailing the roads that that they are responsible for ploughing.�� When snow reaches a depth of 50mm on roads in their areas the farmers will commence ploughing notifying KCC as agreed in their contract. A list of farmers and their contact details can be found in the local plan, (although some personal information will not be available via this report or the website due to General Data Protection Regulations).�

5. Conclusion

5(1) Working in partnership with the district councils will enable HTW to provide an effective winter service across the county.

6. Recommendations

6(1) Members are asked to note this report.
