This report outlines the
proposed Local and Neighbourhood Transport Complimentary Programme
(LaNTCP) for 2025/26 and seeks approval to proceed with development
and implementation of the proposals subject to the necessary
capital programme, traffic orders, and route management approvals
being acquired.
 
It also seeks approval to
proceed with taking projects within the programmes through the
Council’s capital approval process.

 

 

12.2

RESOLVED
UNANIMOUSLY: That the Transport,
Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee:-
 

(a) 
approves the proposed 2025/26 LaNTCP capital
programme subject to the capital and legislative approvals being
obtained; and
 

(b) 
continues to delegate authority to the Assistant
Director for City Transport (referred to in reports in respect of
previous years’ programmes under their prior title as the
Head of Strategic Transport, Sustainability, and Infrastructure) to
make reserved commissioning decisions in order to progress these
schemes to completion.

 

 

12.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

12.3.1

The proposed LaNTP programme
balances the availability of funding sources with local and
national policy to give a clear focus for the 2025/26 and financial
year, with an opportunity for changes to be considered by Committee
that could be made during the year. It also maximises the benefits
from contributions from external resources, including private
sector developers. The proposed programme is extensive and
ambitious which comes with its own challenges. The programme
utilises internal and external funding sources and staff resources
to deliver change to the transport system, considering
environmental, economic and societal needs.

 

 

12.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

12.4.1

Do nothing’ has been
considered but is not considered appropriate as this will result in
projects not being delivered. The LaNTP programme would not be
introduced and the opportunity for economic, environmental and
societal benefits will be missed.

 

 

12.4.2

It would also be possible to
consider a different balance between types of schemes as part of
the programme. However, it is felt that the proposed programme
achieves a good balance of economic, environmental and societal
benefits to the communities and businesses in Sheffield.
