List of Road Schemes

The roads programme is split into two categories: national trunk roads and motorways in the Targeted Programme of Improvements (TPI), and government approved and funded local authority schemes in the Local Transport Plans (LTP). There are currently about 83 schemes in the TPI, totalling over £10 billion. There are about 85 schemes approved in the LTP programme, totalling nearly £2 billion. Road schemes are also funded via the Department of Communities and Local Government's Community Infrastructure Fund (CIF) and Growth Area Fund (GAF). Some road schemes linked to housing development are also funded by private developers via Section 106 agreements.

On 6 July the DfT announced the schemes that could be given funding through the Regional Funding Allocations (RFA) in the next 10 years. You can view the lists here

Schemes that are in the DfT's approved TPI and LTP programmes that have not been selected for funding are here (put link to a new page that contains this info below). DfT describes them as "slipped", and says they will not be removed from the programmes as the regions may wish to reprioritise them later - meanwhile blighting properties and casting shadows over landscapes.....

Highways Agency TPI & Local Major Transport Schemes not being funded in the RFA period


In advice submitted to the Government in January 2006, six Highways Agency schemes in the Targeted Programme of Improvements and nine local transport schemes which had previously been given a Government approval were not identified by regional stakeholders as priorities for funding within indicative Regional Funding Allocations in the period to 2016.


In their announcement on 6th July, Ministers accepted this advice and the schemes listed below have not, therefore, been included in the programme of major schemes that the Department expects to fund in the relevant region in the period to 2016. The Department expects to seek further formal advice on regional priorities within two years, and it remains open to the regions to review the priority of these schemes in future rounds of the regional funding process. The Highways Agency will continue to address safety issues on routes for which it is responsible as part of its stewardship role for these routes.

(B) The South East region's advice on priorities only covered the period to 2010/11. The region is expected to provide further advice to the Government on their priorities to 2015/16 later this year, including the priority of these three local transport schemes.
