Answer
My Department has recently submitted a capital bid in October monitoring for £5.5m of which £4.5m is in relation to structural maintenance for resurfacing and £1m for minor works / Local Transport and Safety Measures (LTSM).
The Department’s bid for minor works and LTSM reflects the uncertainty around delivery given the current COVID 19 conditions, the longer lead-in times required for this type of work and our capacity to successfully deliver those schemes by the end of this financial year.
