July JTB update report on the ITP

Integrated Transport Programme for Maidstone 2010/11

 

A report by the Head of Transport & Development to the Joint Transportation Board

 

 


Summary

 

1.    This report reminds members of the schemes currently being bid for as part of the 2010/11 Integrated Transport Programme for Kent and those currently under investigation for future bids.

 

2010/11 Programme

 

2.    The schemes listed in Appendix A are those that have been assessed for inclusion in the 2010/11 Integrated Transport Programme for Kent using the new Scheme Prioritisation System that has replaced PIPKIN.

 

3.    It was expected that a more detailed report with guidance on the Scheme Prioritisation System would be brought to this meeting requesting Members to agree their top priority schemes and allocate bonus points. However, the new Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways & Waste has decided to review this process with the Chairmen of the Joint Transportation Boards. A meeting will be held shortly with the Chairmen and the Cabinet Member and the outcome of this meeting will be reported back to this Board.

 

Future Bids

 

4.    Appendix B outlines schemes that due to various reasons such as the complexity of delivery especially those requiring consultation and legal agreements such as land acquisitions or Traffic Regulation Orders could not be bid for in 2010/11 and are being investigated for potential future bids.

 

5.    Further details of all the schemes listed in the Appendices can be obtained on request from Andrew Corcoran Transportation & Development Manager for Maidstone & Tonbridge & Malling.
