Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Thomas introduced the Welsh Government Transport Grant Funding Bids report which outlined the details of the bids submitted in the following categories: Local Transport Fund; Local Transport Network Fund; Road Safety Grant; and Safe Routes in the Community Grant.

            The total value of the bids for 2018/19 was approximately £1.6m and the successful councils would be notified in April/May.

            The Chief Officer (Streetscene and Transportation) said the Council had an excellent record in obtaining funds through the various funding streams available.  The schemes from each area would be considered and were dependent on the match to the scheme criteria and the level of accidents along the route, rather than location.

            In response to a question from Councillor Shotton, the Chief Officer confirmed that a report would be submitted to a future Cabinet meeting to provide details of the outcome of the bids.

RESOLVED:

That the schemes submitted to Welsh Government for funding in January 2018 for the 2018/19 financial year be approved.
