to be funded from Department of Transport (DfT) grant.

£1,067k in 2024/25 and £1,425k in 2025/26
 
 
Reasons for Recommendations: These
are set out in greater detail within section 5 of the report, but
can be summarised as helping to meet the Council’s corporate
plan objectives:

-      
Green sustainable environment

-      
Safe and thriving places

-      
Active, fulfilled lives
 
 
Alternative Options Considered:
 

·       
For those schemes which
are grant funded or from Section 106 contributions, they are
undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the grant
conditions/ legal agreement and, therefore, there is no alternative
option proposed in this report. 

 

·       
Where individual schemes are over
£0.5m, separate reports are included elsewhere on this
agenda, and these set out the wider options that were considered
before reaching the proposals put forward.
