Application submitted to the WSCC Community Highways Scheme (CHS) for the preferred route from Scaynes Hill to the junction of the B2111 and Snowdrop Lane where it would connect with the proposed Country Park of the Walstead Park development. Although the estimated cost of £0.9 million exceeds the funding limit of the CHS it is hoped that WSCC may be able to move the scheme on to the Local Traffic Improvement Programme (LTIP). Key Councillors and Officers at MSDC advised of the application to the WSCC CHS. |

MSDC Cabinet Member attended the SHLAT meeting to give a response to our presentation of the case for our project. MSDC say that the project will not be included in the LCWIP as this only covers the 3 main towns where they see the greatest captive demand. This is an apparent change in the Terms of Reference as it was previously understood that the LCWIP would cover a radius of 10 km for cycling. MSDC Cabinet Member will investigate the apparent change. WSCC’s formal response is still awaited but we have been advised by them to apply to the WSCC Community Highways Scheme for funding. An application will be made by the deadline at the end of July. |
