RESOLVED:

 

That the Cabinet approve, in principle, the proposed bid outlined in this report for funds from Transport for London (TfL) to implement the Council’s Local Implementation Plan (LIP) and delegate authority to the Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport to agree any changes or additions prior to the submission deadline and to submit the Council's new three-year Local Implementation Plan Delivery Programmebid by the deadline.

 

Reasons for decision

 

Cabinet agreed to progress the Council’s bid to Transport for London for funds to deliver the Council’s Local Implementation Plan through various transport projects in the Borough.

 

The Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport explained that the Plan stemmed from the Mayor of London setting his transport strategy with priorities such as safer corridors, cycle training, bus priority, and better bus partnerships. Each London borough would then bid for funding based on this strategy. The Cabinet Member expected that the Council’s baseline funding would be approximately £1.5 million per annum, similar to previous years, but noted that final allocations would depend on the Mayor’s budget decisions.

 

Alternative options considered and rejected

 

None.
