BOROUGH OF POOLE
TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY GROUP – THURSDAY 18 JANUARY 2007
REPORT OF ACTING HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
2006/07 CAPITAL PROGRAMME UPDATE
1.
Purpose of Report
1.1
To provide an update on progress with delivering the 2006/07 Capital Programme.
1.2
The Capital Programme implements schemes which support the Transportation strategy
and delivers the targets set out in the Local Transport Plan and Best Value Performance
Plan.
2.
Recommendations
It is recommended that :
2.1
Progress with delivery of the 2006/ 07 Capital Programme, as detailed in Appendices A,
B and D be noted.
2.2
The virements listed in Appendix C1 be noted and those at C2 be approved.
3.
Background
3.1
The Government has developed and agreed with the Local Government Association four
shared priorities for the delivery of transport strategy, around which our 2006 – 2011
Local Transport Plan (LTP) has been developed. The four shared priorities are :

Congestion : reducing journey times, assisting economic prosperity, reducing
pollution, providing reliable journeys

Accessibility : providing access to services for all, opening up previously excluded
areas, assisting mobility, enriching peoples lives

Road Safety : saving lives, reducing injuries, providing reassurance to all users of
the highway

Air Quality : providing a healthier environment, improving health, promoting
cleaner transport methods
4
Programme
4.1
The Transportation Programme is now set out in terms of the shared priorities, but
excluding Air Quality as that is not a current issue in Poole. Within each of the main
headings, projects have been identified that will help meet LTP targets. A detailed
programme is shown at Appendix A. Further information about some of the more
significant projects in the programme is listed in Appendix B.
1
4.2
Members were made aware of possible difficulties with delivering the Programme at the 9
March 2006 meeting of this Group. At that time it was stated that discussions were
underway with Bournemouth BC regarding the joint use of a partnering Consultant and
Contractor to assist with delivery. Following an extensive tendering and vigorous
assessment programme, Mouchel Parkman were appointed to provide assistance to both
Poole and Bournemouth. The assessment process involved considering submissions
based on both quality and cost. As well as undertaking interviews, visits were made to
other Authorities having experience of their service delivery and workshops held, attended
by a mix of Poole/ Bournemouth officers and those of the consultant.
4.3
It is anticipated that by partnering with this consultant, who is nationally one of the market
leaders for this type of work, will produce the following significant benefits to Poole:

Provides availability of significant levels of additional staff resources to ensure
delivery of Capital Programme and other projects.

Can draw upon an organisation which has high level of technical expertise,
including considerable experience elsewhere.

Develop strong partnership seeking common aims with Poole and Bournemouth.
4.4
Mouchel Parkman are already undertaking a feasibility study to look at congestion and
road safety issues along Ashley Road. A Report about this will be submitted to a future
meeting of TAG.
4.5
In addition to this, a joint contract has now been let with Bournemouth for Mildren
Construction to undertake minor highway works, again providing more flexibility in
delivering the Council’s programme.

A detailed breakdown of the main programme is included at Appendix A.
5.3
As indicated at Paragraph 4.2, resource problems have led to difficulties in delivering the
programme. Appointment of the partnering consultant will mean that we have much
greater flexibility with the design of schemes, and the appointment of a term contractor will
assist in site implementation. However, the effect of these initiatives will not be realised
until 2007/ 08.
5.4
In order to ensure the budget is fully expended it is necessary to undertake virements to
other areas of the programme, and as listed in Appendix C2. It will be noted that this has
included moving £200,000 into the Highway Structural Maintenance area (Appendix C1)
where further priority works have been identified.
6
Developer Funded Schemes
6.1
In addition to the Transportation Capital Programme there are a number of other
highway improvements undertaken, using developer funding secured through
Planning Agreements. The majority of these improvements are solely funded in this
way, but opportunities for utilising developer funding to part fund LTP funded
schemes is taken where possible.
6.2
The developer funded programme for 2006/ 07 is listed at Appendix D.
6.3
A number of the schemes are reliant on developers own works reaching thresholds
before our works can be commenced or progressed to completion. Both S278
works at Seldown Roundabout and Newfoundland Drive Cycleway Link need
developer action in order for progress to be made.
6.4
Some schemes, such as Hungerhill Preliminary Works, are long-term schemes
being undertaken over a number of years. In many cases the use of funding is not
restricted to particular financial years.
6.5
Several schemes have recently been completed and are awaiting final accounts.
Any remaining resources will be reallocated to other schemes.
6.6
Two schemes, Baiter One Way and Bus Improvements - Turlin Road to Boundary,
have been affected by significant changes in circumstances and need to be
completely reassessed. The scheme proposed for Baiter was rejected following
consultation and the changes to Wilts & Dorset bus routes in Hamworthy have left
some of the stops proposed for improvement served by only a few late night buses.

APPENDIX B
TACKLING CONGESTION
As identified within the draft Local Transport Plan, the first priority for improvements
along the Primary Transport Corridor across the conurbation will be the main Poole to
Bournemouth route.
Traffic movements along this E-W corridor are not just confined to the main A35 but
also to the alternative routes of Ashley Road and Station Road/ Penn Hill/ Leicester
Road/ Lindsay Road. The programme was developed taking account of the main
points of congestion but also recognising that early delivery will be more achievable in
some areas rather than others.
While the main emphasis of the design in this category will be congestion,
improvements will also be sought in the other priority areas of Accessibility and Safer
Roads. The measures for Ashley road are a particular example of this, with
congestion also contributing towards potential air quality problems.
Ashley Cross (£15,000)
To study the feasibility of enlarging the Commercial Road/ Parr Street/ Britannia Road
junction to relieve congestion. The study is programmed for the final quarter of this
year.
Commercial Road/ Station Road (£10,114)
A feasibility study for improving traffic flow at the junction is programmed for the last
quarter of this year. Possible options include a new signalised junction.
Bournemouth Road/ Richmond Road (£7,000)
To study the feasibility of enlarging the junction, and in widening the westbound
approach to create a bus lane.
Bournemouth Road/ Archway Road (£7,000)
Feasibility study required to look at widening Bournemouth Road into the footway so
that a bus lane can be incorporated. Bus priority may be incorporated into the signals.
The study is to be considered in association with the study at Penn Hill, currently out
to consultation.
Puffin conversion programme (£59,000)
As part of our programme of enhancing facilities for pedestrians, and in reducing
traffic delays, it is proposed to replace pelican type signals on the A35 with “Puffin”
technology. As detectors on Puffin signals monitor movement of pedestrians over the
crossing they can permit traffic to flow as soon as pedestrians are clear. The
advantage for slower pedestrians is that they are allowed as much time as they need
to cross. Design work is progressing. Quotations are being sought from Siemens for
the necessary signal equipment.
7
Ashley Road/ North Road ( £8,000 )
Ashley Road/ Mansfield Road (£10,000)
Ashley Road/ Richmond Road (£10,000)
Improvements at these junctions have now been combined into an overall feasibility
study for Ashley Road, between Alder Road and North Road. This study is being
undertaken by our new partnering Consultant, Mouchel Parkman.
The Brief asked the consultant to consider operation of each of the signalised
junctions, with a view to improving traffic flow. But they will also be attempting to
improve facilities for pedestrians and cyclists along this popular route.
Ashley Road/ Alder Road (£20,000)
A new signalised junction is proposed, incorporating bus priority facilities. Some kerb
re-alignment may be necessary. It is expected that we will only have time for our
partnering consultant to undertake a feasibility study this year.
Lindsay Road/ St Aldhelms Road (£75,000)
This was reported at the November TAG, but deferred pending consideration of the
effects of the Lindsay Road/ Leicester Road and Penn Hill junction improvement
schemes. The budget will be allocated to other priority areas in the interim.
Lindsay Road/ Leicester Road (£150,000)
Approval has previously been given by this Group to proceed with signalisation of the
junction. Works commenced on 14 October and should be completed by Christmas.
Penn Hill signals (£50,000)
A preliminary report about possible improvement to this junction was considered by
12 October 2006 TAG. Approval was given to undertake a consultation exercise with
local stakeholders. Consultation documents were delivered to local residents and
businesses. As well as that, details of possible options for improvement were
exhibited at (a) the Alderney, Branksome East and West, and (b) the Canford Cliffs
and Penn Hill Area Committees which were held in November. Options being
considered included making Archway Road and North Lodge Way one way to reduce
pressure on the existing 5 arm junction. A further report, detailing the results of the
consultation exercise, is included elsewhere on this Agenda.
Town Centre Variable Message Signing (£49,515)
Work to replace 5 No. Poole Bridge status signs with electronic signs is just about to
start on site. In addition to showing real time information about Poole Bridge status
these signs can be used to provide a range of driver information on events including
weekly market, Quay closures, Park & Ride and other Town Centre information. The
signs will be erected in Holes Bay Road, Broadstone Way, Towngate Bridge, New
Orchard and Blandford Road. Completion is expected by the end of March 2007.
8
Intelligent Transport Systems Study (£17,598)
Continuing the study of new technology for management of traffic within the
conurbation, over the longer term.
DELIVERING ACCESSIBILITY
Bus Station Improvements (£150,976)
Poor condition of existing bus station is seen as one of the major obstacles to
increased use of public transport in the Borough.
Improvements needed include :
 Repairs and painting to canopy and columns.
 Partial glazing of canopy.
 Improved lighting
 Replacement/repainting of street furniture
 Replacement of paving
 Landscaping
A full Report was considered at a meeting of this group on 14 September 2006. A
tripartite agreement for construction, maintenance and funding is to be developed with
Grosvenor Estates and Wilts & Dorset buses. Work is expected to commence early in
the new year. In addition to art based exhibitions, joint information boards will be
displayed before Christmas in the Dolphin Shopping Centre advising the public of
likely disruption.
School 20mph zones – Broadstone First (£25,000)
A priority list for introducing 20mph zones outside schools was approved at the 14
April 2005 TAG. This scheme, which involved introducing traffic calming measures in
Tudor Road, was completed during the school summer holiday.
School 20mph zones – Springdale First (£31,000)
This scheme, which involved introducing traffic calming measures in Lewesdon Drive,
was completed during the school summer holiday. The 20mph zone covers parts of
Lewesdon Drive, Wynne Close, Cheam Road, Silverdale Close and Gladelands Way
School 20mph zones – St Aldhelms (£40,000)
Following objections to proposals for traffic calming which involved the use of speed
cushions the scheme has been re-assessed to identify alternative measures to the
vertical deflections previously proposed. A report is included elsewhere on this
Agenda.
9
School Schemes – Corfe Hills (£6,000)
Continuation of programme of improvements outside schools, particularly where part
of School Travel Plan. A 5 year prioritised implementation plan was presented to TAG
in April 2004. This project involves the improvement of the footpath which passes
behind the school and links Roman Road with Higher Blandford Road. It is proposed
to undertake drainage and surface improvement to the footpath.
School Schemes – Springdale First
Associated with the 20mph zone works mentioned above the opportunity was also
taken to install two sets of refuges in Springdale Road. As well as assisting the
journey to and from school the refuges have had a speed reducing effect on traffic
using Springdale Road.
School Schemes – Lilliput First (£8,400)
This scheme, which was completed during the October half term, involved the
improvement of the footpath/ (RoW) linking Anthonys Avenue and Lilliput Road. It will
improve the journey to school for pedestrians.
Sandbanks Road Cycleway – Elgin Road to Evening Hill (£67,306)
This scheme is proposed to link the existing National Cycleway Network (NCN) route
at Sandbanks Road/ Elgin Road through to Evening Hill. A cycleway in this location
has been sought by cycling groups and the public, reflecting high levels of leisure
cycling along this length, with particular concern over young and vulnerable cyclists
within family groups. A workable scheme was approved by the 12 October meeting of
TAG and works are expected top commence early in the new year.
Bus Facilities (£77,000)
To continue with the programme of raising kerbs at bus stops, to assist the disabled,
and the provision of more bus shelters. Raised kerbs have already been provided in
Creekmoor Lane and Upton Road. It is proposed to install new shelters at stops in
Birds Hill Road, Seldown Bridge, Longfleet Road, Constitution Hill Road,
Longmeadow Lane, Creekmoor Lane, Ringwood Road and Wimborne Road.
SW Passenger Transport Information Travel Line (£15,706)
Ongoing funding towards regional “Traveline” public transport information system.
Cycling/ Walking – Darbys Corner (£30,000)
Feasibility studies are currently being undertaken to assess whether cycle facilities
can be provided around this gyratory.
10
Cycling/ Walking – Waterloo Road (£23,000)
Feasibility studies are currently being undertaken to assess whether cycle facilities
can be provided along Waterloo Road, between Fleets Corner and Darbys Corner.
Cycling/ Walking – Bourne Valley Greenway (£25,000)
The need to improve the footpath linking Dalling Road and Winston Avenue has been
requested by those accessing St Aldhelms School on many occasions. In fact the
route does form part of the Bourne Valley Greenway and so is also used by cyclists.
The condition of the path is in a poor state and so the opportunity is being taken to
widen the route in places and provide a more consistent surface. Care has had to be
taken in carrying out the works to ensure minimal effect on wildlife.
Cycling/ Walking – Adastral Road puffin (£29,000)
Work to install this puffin, near to Adastral Square, will commence when the Lindsay
Road/ Leicester Road woks have been completed.
Rights of Way Improvement (£17,600)
A detailed programme has been developed based on Rights of Way Improvement
Plan, formulated as part of Local Transport Plan.
SAFER ROADS
Continuing a programme of engineering measures aimed at casualty reduction.
Schemes are prioritised based on injury accidents over 3 year period either at specific
locations, corridor, or area based.
Town Centre North & Longfleet Road (£35,121)
There have been a number of accidents in the section of Wimborne Road, between
Tatnam Road and Fernside Road. A scheme as been developed to try to address the
problems, which also includes the provision of cycle lanes. A separate report is
included elsewhere on this Agenda. It is also the intention to carry out minor changes
to the hospital car park exit in Longfleet Road. Although the right turn out of this car
park is banned, due to safety issues, it is largely ignored.
George Roundabout (£4,199)
Apart from minor modifications in this area, treatment of safety problems will await the
outcome of consultations regarding possible redevelopment to the Town Centre
North.
11
Ashley Road (£46,000)
Associated with other studies of this Primary Transport corridor it is proposed that
road safety issues be dealt with at the same time. However, and as detailed
elsewhere in this Report, investigation of problems on this corridor were delayed due
to resource problems. This work will now be picked up by our partnering Consultant,
Mouchel Parkman.
Ashley Cross Area (£5,000)
Associated with other studies of this Primary Transport corridor it is proposed that
road safety studies be considered, for implementation in 2007/ 08.
Local Traffic Calming Schemes (£25,000)
A traffic calming scheme for Alexandra Road was approved at 14 September TAG.
Implementation of the scheme, which involves use of horizontal deflections, will start
on site shortly and be completed before the end of the financial year.
Speed Indicator Device (SID) Signs (£65,472)
Approval to a programme of installation of these was approved at the 25 May meeting
of this Group. Tenders were sought for the work and a Contractor has now been
appointed. Installation of permanent signs in Lindsay Road, Penn Hill Avenue, Lilliput
Road, The Avenue, Canford Cliffs Road, North Road, Constitution Hill Road, Lulworth
Avenue, Sopers Lane, Springdale Road, Higher Blandford Rd, Wallisdown Road,
Alder Road, Winston Avenue and Danecourt Road, is due to commence in January.
In addition SID signs have recently been installed in Leicester Road and Culliford
Crescent.

MAINTENANCE
Highway Maintenance (£1,689,942)
Ongoing programme of major reconstruction and resurfacing schemes, surveyed and
prioritised in accordance with nationally developed techniques to maintain highway
assets in most cost effective way.
Principal Roads
A scheme of major strengthening and carriageway resurfacing has been completed
on the approaches to Poole Bridge.
Non-Principal Classified Roads
Kerb/ footway reconstruction and carriageway resurfacing is underway in Ashley
Road, between Layton Road and Library Road. Works are planned in Ringway Road
(Bond Road to Constitution Hill Road) and Western Road (Pinecliff Road to Ravine
Road).
Unclassified Roads
Carriageway strengthening works have been completed in Winspit Close, Parkside
Road, Inverness Road, Western Avenue (Bury Road to Western Road), Branksea
Avenue and Delph Road. Surfacing works have been completed in Spur Road,
Harbour View Close, Approach Road, Goliath Road and Martello Road (Bury Road to
Canford Cliffs Road). Further works are programmed for St Aldhelms Road, Woking
Road, Vale Road, Canford Cliffs Avenue, Beresford Close, Haig Avenue, North Lodge
Road, Guest Avenue and Seacombe Road.
Street Lighting Column Replacements (£120,000)
Ongoing programme of replacement of structurally defective columns, prioritised on
basis of risk assessment. Replacement costs approximately £1,000 per column.
The majority of the work carried out so far is for emergency repairs to defects that are
discovered by SEC as they carry out routine and non-routine repairs to the street
lighting stock. 68 lamp columns and 114 bracket units have been replaced / are
scheduled to be replaced due to structural defects.
Ongoing emergency repairs make it difficult to allocate work to columns that are on
our 'to do' list. If expenditure continues in line with current patterns, we are projecting
that our entire budget will be exhausted by repairing emergency defects only. A
Structurally Defective Replacement Programme was issued to SEC last year
containing a list of lamp columns that need to be replaced due to structural defects.
Based on emergency repairs and outstanding repairs from the replacement
programme, we are projecting a total spend of £120,000 for this financial year.
13
Bridge Maintenance (£101,000)
It is anticipated that this budget will be allocated to parapet replacements, possibly on
the Oakdale Bridges.
Steady State Preventative Measures (£74,717)
Works to replace handrails on Poole Bridge have now been completed.
Canford Bridge Exceptional Scheme (£150,000)
A full Report about progress with this scheme was considered at the 30 November
2006 meeting of this Group.
Creekmoor Bridges (£133,717)
The work on Creekmoor Bridges, Upton Road involved lining the existing concrete
culvert with a custom made GRP section to strengthen the existing structure. The
works are now complete.
Poole lifting bridge – nosings (£100,000)
Work to renew the steel nosings at the end of each lifting leaf, replacement of the
concrete infill to the steel deck and waterproofing of the whole deck was completed in
October.
Gravel Hill embankment (£37,000)
Cracking in the carriageway and footway on Gravel Hill has been investigated by
technical consultants to determine possible causes and a course of remedial action. It
is expected that a more detailed investigation and design will be necessary in order to
determine levels of funding required. It is possible that this may form an exceptional
bid for funding to GOSW.
CAR PARKS
Improvements to Quay Visitors MSCP (£125,168)
Improvements to the entrances and exits have now been completed.
Repairs to Town Centre car parks (£27,892)
Essential waterproofing to Shopping Centre 2 car park 56
Structural Maintenance appraisals (£28,000)
This budget covers the need to undertake regular structural inspections of the multistorey car parks, and to undertake limited, but essential, structural repairs where the
need is identified.
