148.1  The Committee considered the report of the Executive Director Economy Environment & Culture regarding the Local Transport Plan Capital Programme 2019/20.

148.2  Councillor Sykes referred to seafront structures and in particular Shelter Hall and the A259, and asked if the Council had made use of potential flood defence grants. Councillor Mitchell confirmed they had but the application was not successful, however the Council would continue to apply.

148.3  Councillor Mac Cafferty referred to paragraph 3.5, and better cycling infrastructure, and asked if that would be reflected in the integrated transport block allocation in terms of funding. Officers referred to appendix 2, which set out how the additional funding would be allocated, and said there was money currently allocated for cycle parking. Once the development of the local cycling and walking infrastructure plan has been completed, it would provide a further list of prioritised improvements.
