Bridge Strengthening and Assessment |
The budget is used for all the council’s structural highways work. The underspend is due to a number of issues: 1) Change in personnel. Staff members leaving and difficulty in recruitment. 2) Due to the lack of resources and commitment to support other projects such as Shelter Hall. 3) The current spend relates to design fees, so work is progressing, but not at the rate originally planned. |

Integrated Transport Schemes (LTP) |
The Cycle Network project will need to reprofile unspent budget as it is directly related to match funding schemes that are funded by ATE [Active Travel]. The Walking Networks Freestanding Crossings project budget also needs to be reprofiled as Members and consultees rejected the original plans. Work to redirect to other schemes has led to an underspend of the budget allocated for 2022/23. |

DfT Challenge Fund - Western Road |
Construction commenced in November 2022. This funding is committed and it is expected that it will be spent within 2023/24. There was a need to wait to spend the maintenance funding to coordinate as one project with the Active Travel and Bus Service Improvement Plan funding. |

Bus Service Improvement Scheme (BSIP) |
Construction is underway, however, following a significant amount of public interest in the construction management, including rerouting of buses, and political sensitivity, Transport Services have had to review the project phasing. Resources are therefore being focused on the western section of Western Road so the road can reopen sooner. The BSIP funded element (Dyke Road) will then follow on later this year instead. |

The majority of the work is due to commence in 2023/24 and a large part of the budget has already been reprofiled into this year, the remainder for 2022/23 is now required to be reprofiled into 2023/24 as well. |

CNF - Traffic Signal Carbon Reduction Programme |
Around £0.132m of the works had been completed before the end of March but agreement to pay the invoices is yet to be concluded. The works were 99% complete, are switched on and working but payment is withheld pending some minor defects that need to be corrected. The program was delayed due to the roll out of the council’s new civils contract which interrupted procurement of civils contractors. Installation has now commenced and are due to complete the whole works by December 2023. |

Safer Streets Fund Streetlighting |
The intended work for the safer street projects has been delayed whilst teams have continued to identify appropriate plans and sites. Initially there were several projects that were hoping to be funded, due to staff changes and delayed decisions a full revision of how the safer street fund was to be spent was necessary. A revised plan to refurbish lanterns in the Royal Pavilion Gardens has now been committed following an unexpectedly lengthy agreement process. The hope is to have the restoration of the lanterns in the Royal Pavilion Gardens completed and billed by October 2023. |

Victoria Road |
The overspend of £2.267m on the original approved budget, relates to the total project costs for both the Sports Pavilion and Housing schemes. 60% of the overspend is attributable to overruns in the construction costs above the Agreed Maximum Price for both the Sports Pavilion and Housing Scheme. Both schemes have been constructed during a time of great uncertainty as a result of Brexit, the Pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, which is having a considerable impact on the UK economy and the construction market. This, together with the tightening up of Fire Safety Regulations post Grenfell, has significantly contributed to the uplift in project costs. The remaining 40% of the overspend is attributable to the extra professional fees associated with the detailed design stages of the Housing scheme. The scheme has required greater design coordination from the Lead Architect and input from specialist designers than was originally anticipated. A summary of Lessons Learnt on the project has been shared with the Housing Supply Programme and Members Boards as well as the council’s Strategic Construction Partnership with Morgan Sindall. |

The budget was not fully spent this year due to the number of completions for the home purchase scheme not reaching the target number.

Condensation & Damp Works |
There has been a significant increase in damp and condensation cases reported in 2022/23. Cases have increased from 110 active cases in September 2022 to 1,337 active cases in May 2023. This increase is as a result of the increase in awareness following the tragic death in Rochdale and the impact of the fuel crises resulting in tenants reducing the energy used to heat their homes. The service has responded promptly to this issue engaging additional contractor resource to support our in-house resource. This spend has been used both to combat the initial impacts of damp and mould and provide additional resource to deal with material and structural defects which contribute to damp and condensation. Based on current trends spends at this level are likely to continue until some of the inherent defects in our stock are remedied. It has been necessary to use waivers for procurement due to the need to respond quickly, however the service intends to procure a framework over the summer period to ensure that the council is achieving value for money. Spend will be closely monitored through the TBM process but it is anticipated that there will be a similar level spend for the financial year 2023/24. |

Budget reprofiled at TBM9 was based on information from partners at ESCC.
