Salford City Council - Record of Decision

DFT and TfGM Emergency Active Travel (EAT) Funds

I, Councillor John Merry, Deputy City Mayor, in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council constitution do hereby:

1.    Note the £1.53 million of grant funding available to Salford City Council

for walking and cycling interventions as part of the Covid-19 response.

2.    Approve the scheme proposals, which will be developed further in

consultation with the appropriate Lead Members and the Walking and  Cycling Champion.

3.    Approve the spend of the grant awarded to Salford City Council.

The Reasons are the Covid-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the way that people are travelling across Greater Manchester. Public transport capacity has been severely reduced and walking and cycling has significantly increased.  Recent data shows that one million cycling trips are now being made each week across Greater Manchester, an increase of 34% on pre lockdown levels.

Salford City Council has secured approximately £1.53 million of funding to implement measures that will support these trips and help to enforce appropriate social distancing.  The report details the sources of the grant, the deadlines for spend, proposed types of interventions and delivery progress to date.

Assessment of Risk: The Highways Design team are experienced in the design of schemes of this nature and delivery will be undertaken through Highway Services who have a successful track record of delivering schemes. In addition the scheme is to be entirely funded via external grant funding.

The source of funding: These schemes are to be fully grant funded.  The City Council will claim any grant funding in arrears on a quarterly basis.
