RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 
That the
Executive:
 

i)              
Noted and accept the
additional highways maintenance and pothole repair funding
allocation of £1.494m in 2023/24.

 

ii)             
Agreed to spend the grant on maintaining the highway
network in line with the Northamptonshire Asset
Management Plan and Network Management Plan.
 
Reason for Recommendation: Utilisation of government grant to
support and maintain the Council’s Highways infrastructure
and transport network. 

 

Alternative Options
Considered: 

 

· 
Not spending the money and allowing DfT to recoup
it. 

· 
Spending the money on schemes that are not a
priority on the
basis of need in accordance with the Northamptonshire Asset
Management Plan and Network Management Plan.   

 

Neither of these options
are recommended as they will not deliver the objectives of the
Council’s corporate priorities.
