Agenda item

RESOLVED that the report notifying the receipt of the following petitions be noted and the recommended actions for responding to them be endorsed:-

(a)       Containing the signatures of 4 electronic signatories, in respect of a request to resurface Estate Road, Viewlands at Silkstone Common in Barnsley.

In 2015 Cabinet approved the Highways Asset Management Strategy and Policy for the years 2016 to 2021. These documents set out our new approach to asset management. This has seen a change in the way we prioritise roads for treatments. We use Highway Survey condition data to develop our programs and have used this data for the 2018/19 program.

From the data available, unfortunately, Viewlands did not meet the criteria for inclusion in the coming program. However in the next financial year we will be updating our survey information and from this will develop the 2019/20 works program for which Viewlands will again be assessed.

It is recommended that the Service Director, Environment and Transport write to the lead petitioner to inform them of this situation.
