Decision Maker: Director of Pride in Place
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
That approval is given to progress the Highways Structural Maintenance Capital Allocation with a revised value of £1,991.8kfor 2024/25 to be delivered with the following priorities and estimated budget split:
Defect repairs and minor works - £555k
Bridges and Structures - £70k
Preventative Carriageway Maintenance - £215k
Preparation works for preventative Maintenance - £75k.
Street Lighting Column replacement - £135k
Footway upgrades - £55k
A380 French Drain Maintenance - £118k
Carriageway reconstruction/resurfacing - £718.8k
Contingencies - £50k
The funding assumes receipt of the indicative structural maintenance block funding, including the pothole funding, incentive funding and additional pothole funding as published by the DfT in December 2023.
It should be noted that should any further additional structural maintenance funding be identified, then this will be used to support the above programme using the criteria set out in the Highways Asset Management Strategy.
Reasons for the decision:
Torbay Council receives an annual Capital Grant from the Department for Transport (DfT) for the Local Transport Plan (LTP) Highways Structural Maintenance Block. There are a number of demands on this funding and therefore the total funding needs to be allocated to enable effective use of the available funding. This decision confirms the indicative budget figures for areas of highway maintenance for the 2024/25 financial year.
Alternative options considered:
The allocations in this Record of Decision have been assessed by highways officers to meet the statutory duties of Torbay Council, as highway authority and provide as much investment into larger scale works as possible from the limited funding allocation.
The following background papers were used in considering the issue:-
Highways Asset Management Strategy
Highways Asset Management Policy

This decision will come into force immediately.
