Draft Local Transport Plan Capital Programme Minutes: Each financial year, through the Planning Guideline process, the Council was awarded an allocation of funding from central Government to spend on transportation schemes and maintenance of the road network. To ensure that this money was spent effectively the second Peterborough Local Transport Plan (2006–2011) was developed, in consultation with a wide range of key stakeholders and was approved by full Council. The Council considered a range of transport solutions to best address local problems, meet the growth aspirations of the City and integrate the Government’s ‘shared transport priorities’ agreed nationally by the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Department for Transport (DfT).
The Council has allocated a total of £10.406m for 2010/11 from the funding awarded from central Government (Table 1 refers) and the allocations for Integrated Transport and Capital Maintenance were awarded on the basis of a formulaic calculation that took into account a number of parameters for example passenger numbers, road lengths, Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPI) etc. Primary Route Network funding (PRN) was an allocation which was specifically ring fenced for the maintenance of structures on strategically important transport corridors. This allocation was set following the determination of an evidence based bid submitted to Government in August 2007. A further sum of £0.390m of transport resource funding was also awarded, the details of which are shown in Table 2. In addition to the external funding Corporate Capital funding has been allocated to areas detailed in Table 3.
