Decision details

The purpose of the report was to gain approval for the funding allocations and to outline the delivery progress of the approved schemes.

ORDERED that Executive:

1.    Approve the continued allocation of CRSTS funding across both Highways Maintenance and Integrated Transport workstreams, noting that 75% of schemes were currently on programme (RAG: Green) and a further 25% were experiencing minor delays (RAG: Amber) but remained deliverable within the current or next financial year

2.    Approve the implementation of mitigation measures for schemes at risk of delay or underspend — particularly those in the Carriageways, Structures & Bridges, and Stainton Way Phase 2 schemes — to ensure continued alignment with CRSTS grant conditions, avoid clawback risk, and maintain the Council’s ability to meet statutory obligations.

AGREED that Executive

1.    Note the progress to date on the delivery of the 2025/26 Capital Programme funded through the £4.154m City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) grant, as detailed in Appendices 1 and 1A of the report.

2.    Note ongoing programme management flexibilities, allowing officers to reprofile or reallocate approved funds where appropriate to support accelerated delivery of shovel-ready schemes or respond to emerging priorities.
