(Report No.52)

(8.35 – 8.40pm)

Councillor Chris Bond (Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety) introduced the report of the Director of Regeneration and Environment (No.52) outlining Enfield’s proposals for spending the £4.277m 2015/16 Local Implementation Plan (LIP) grant funding provided by Transport for London (TfL) to help implement the Mayor’s Transport Strategy.

NOTED the consultation process undertaken to develop the Enfield LIP priorities, as detailed in section 5.2 of the report

Alternative Options Considered:

1.      The LIP is a statutory document arising from the GLA Act 1999 with each borough’s LIP covering proposals to implement the Mayor of London Transport Strategy within their area.  The LIP submission for 2015/16 is therefore constrained by the TfL allocations contained in the TfL LIP Annual Spending Submission and adequacy test required for Mayoral approval.

2.      Enfield’s LIP priorities have emerged from a well structure process of consultation.

DECISION:  Cabinet agreed:

1.            To approve the expenditure proposals for 2015/16 outlined in Tables 1 to 6 (Appendix 1 of the report) for submission to TfL and for these proposals to be implemented, subject to no alternations being made to the allocation or programmes by Transport for London.

2.            To delegate authority to the Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety to make any changes necessary to the programme should there be any change to the allocation from TfL or for any other operational reason.

Reason: To seek the necessary approvals that will enable Enfield’s LIP funding proposals for 2015/16 to be submitted to TfL.  The submission of proposals to TfL is essential in order to obtain release of the allocated funds for expenditure in the 2015/16 financial year.
