13.1

The Committee considered a
report of the Executive Director of City Futures that provided
an update on delivery of the carry forward within the
2022/2023 Local and Neighbourhood Transport Complimentary (formerly
known as the Local Transport Plan) and Road Safety Fund capital
programmes, as well as the 2023/24 programme approved by committee
on 16th March 2023.

 

 

13.2

RESOLVED
UNANIMOUSLY: That the Transport,
Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee:-
 
i.              
Note progress on the Local and Neighbourhood Transport
Complimentary (LaNTCP - formally known
as the Local Transport Plan Integrated Transport Block) and Road
Safety Fund (RSF) programmes.
ii.             
Approve the variations within the programmes (highlighted in
sections 1.13 to 1.31 for the LaNTCP,
and Appendix B for RSF), noting the individual projects will still
need to go through the Councils capital process – to be
approved by the Strategy and Resources committee.
iii.            
Note the potential effect on future years’ programmes, with
the 2024/25 programme being subject to another report early in the
new calendar year.

 

 

13.3

Reasons for Decision

13.3.1

The proposed LaNTP
and RSF programmes balances the availability of funding sources
with local and national policy to give a clear focus for the
2023/24 financial year, with an opportunity for changes to be
considered by Committee that could be made in future years of the
current 5-year programme. 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.

 

 

13.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

13.4.1

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

13.4.2

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.
