Last night’s cabinet meeting had a summary from Councillor Gerry Clarke, Lead Member Transport and Infrastructure on the Highways and Transport Investment Programme 2020-21
All the info quoted below is from the report, link above. The pothole above has since been fixed.
As lead on infrastructure for the Independent Group I wanted to respond to Gerry and the cabinet but also ask residents for input. It is only with real time observations by residents reporting either directly online by RBWM’s Report It function or to their local Councillor that we can ask Gerry to get the inspectors to pop by and review the actual condition of a road to determine where it should sit in the timetable for improvements. Does it need fixing immediately or can it wait?
I have always found Gerry very approachable & fair as Cllr Lynne Jones mentions in the video clip, and we were glad to see his decision making is based on facts rather than favouritism. Section 6, table 4 details the risk management process as:
- The proposed programme has been subject to rigorous inspection and prioritisation and indicative programmes for future years included.
- Budget estimates prepared; contractor rates confirmed’ fixed prices secured where possible and robust financial governance in place.
- Achievable programme recommended with indicative programme for future years should individual schemes be undeliverable. Recommended that existing contractors be reappointed to ensure timely delivery with minimised disruption.
- Inclement weather delays programme delivery Medium Recommended that existing contractors be reappointed to undertake weather sensitive elements during the summer / autumn 2019.
It was great to see Cllr Samantha Rayner ask for more for Windsor in her comments on the budget and I’d just like to remind her that while her ward is central, West Windsor is still Windsor for her wider brief.
Pleased to hear more money is on its way to fix the potholes and also regarding improvements to the cycle & footways to encourage more healthy lifestyle.
4.3 An additional £1.5m is anticipated to be awarded to the Royal Borough to tackle potholes and poor road surfaces. Confirmation is awaited but once received this will be allocated to schemes based on technical need.
