Answer

Given that scheme priorities can change due to changes in circumstances associated with individual schemes, Local Transport and Safety Measures (LTSM) programmes are only finalised after budgets for the year have been confirmed. This ensures that the limited funding available for works of this nature is targeted towards those schemes in greatest need.

The work programmes are presented to council each year, normally in the spring, and afterwards are published online.
