Failure to collect and report Performance Indicator data
will mean the Council is not meeting its duties under the
1999 Act. Processes are on place to collect and review
these performance indicators on a monthly basis. Risk is
therefore Green.

To consider the draft 2010/11 second quarter performance
indicator statistics and identifies any issues.
Performance Indicators 2nd Quarter 2010/11
Members will be aware that the overall monitoring of performance in relation to
the Highways operations is undertaken by Essex County Council, however
there are two Local Performance indicators that measure the recovery of
parking charges achieved.
The table below gives details of the current status of the indicators at the end of
the 2nd quarter of 2010/11 and provides a comparison for the same period last
year.

As the table shows, the level of performance for the two indicators remains
below the quarterly target, however improvement is evident since the 1st quarter
outcome figures, PARKLPI 1 47.84% and PARKLPI2 46.95%, were reported to
Members at the meeting of the Highways Panel on 15th September 2010.
Following thereon, Members are advised that the shortage of Civil Enforcement
Officers (CEO’s) has resulted in much of their activity being complaint led rather
than routine checks and the circumstances around the issue of this type of
PCN’s are more open to challenge and therefore reduces the recovery rate,
however it is anticipated that the level of performance will improve as the
shortage of CEO’s is currently being addressed. Similarly the number of
support staff who recover outstanding debt is being increased.
RECOMMENDED that Members consider and note the draft 2nd quarter
2010/11 performance indicator statistics.

ACTION
REQUIRED
To inform Members of a request to extend parking times
for residents’ parking permit holders from 6.0pm to 9.0pm
Monday to Friday .
Our Borough - Enhancing and protecting our
environment
There are no particular legal issues other than the
normal requirements for traffic regulation orders and
other highways legislation as appropriate.
Overall finance of this Agency activity is a matter for
Essex County Council to determine as Highways
Authority. An estimate of the likely cost is contained
within the report.
There is a resource implication in respect of staff
producing the relevant orders, changing the signage
and enforcing the restrictions later into the evening.
Residents in other roads are likely to request similar
changes.
There are no additional asset management
implications.
All schemes covered by the CDM regulations have a
Health and Safety file established in compliance with
those regulations, and this file covers all the legislative
requirements.
There are no equality and diversity implications.
Members are requested to decide whether they wish to
extend this parking restriction.
A resident from North Road Avenue has requested that additional parking
provision is provided for residents in those roads as indicated in Appendix1.
The resident advises that as the current resident parking scheme ends at
6.0pm Mondays to Saturdays, drivers who are not resident parking permit
holders commence parking on these roads from 6.0pm leaving no space for
resident parking permit holders returning from work. Currently, none of the
resident parking schemes of this nature in the Borough continue beyond 6.0pm.
Whilst extending this restriction until 9.0pm could be enforced by existing civil
enforcement officers in these roads, it will set a precedent for the Borough and
almost certainly lead to further requests being made in the future and the
expectation from residents that the extended time will be enforced. Any night
time enforcement will incur additional overtime costs requiring investment in the
enforcement process.
Highways Panel 9.11.10
4
The cost of the proposal shown in Appendix 1, if approved, is estimated at
£1500 and would need to be met from the Essex County Council Locally
Determined Budget when funds become available. Members will be aware that
funding this year is particularly difficult and that formal consultation is unlikely to
take place this year.
Members' views are requested.

these occasions.
Traditionally the Council has offered the Multi Storey car park at no charge for
the ‘Lighting up Brentwood’ event and on three Saturdays leading up to
Christmas. As well as this being a good will gesture to the community it also
encourages local trade.
Christmas Lead up
The three Saturdays leading up to Christmas for consideration are the 4th,11th
and 18th December. It is estimated that the loss to the Council in parking

charge income would be £4500.00
Lighting up Brentwood
Lighting up Brentwood is taking place this year during the early evening of
Thursday 2nd December. Offering this car park at no charge after 4.0pm on
this occasion is estimated to cost in the region of £600.00 from the loss of car
parking fees.
Members' views are requested.

To decide on the recommendation to apply the same
discount for the renewal of resident’s parking permits and
season tickets which existed for direct debit payment
methods.
A discount used to be provided for renewal of resident’s parking permits and
season tickets by direct debit. This resulted in a discount from £34 to £24 for
residents parking permits and £5 per month for season tickets.
Direct debit payment method was removed and will be replaced soon by
electronic payment for renewals. The Off Street Parking Places Order
therefore needs to be amended to allow this change. Whilst the Council is
making the changes to this Order in respect of the VAT increase it would
involve no extra cost to make this change at the same time.
Highways Panel 9.11.10

RECOMMENDED that the Panel agrees to reinstate the discounts referred to in
the report in respect of renewal payments made electronically and to amend
the “Off-Street Parking Places” Order and associated processes.

The safer roads improvement programme is collated from historical injury accident data. Those
sites with the highest number of treatable injury accident patterns are prioritised within the budget.
As this budget is data-lead, no influence on those schemes can be made.
In previous years, this budget allocation has also supported schemes under the headings ‘Sites of
Concern’ and ‘Area Identified Safety Schemes’ where Members have made requests for traffic
improvements or low cost remedial action to improve the safety of highway users. Due to
pressures on budgets within the current financial year, no allocations of these types have been
made available.

£115,702
Schemes under this budget allocation are selected using criteria published in the “Road Passenger
Transport Strategy”, a document in support of the Local Transport Plan, and are developed jointly
by the Essex County Council Passenger Transport Team and the Area Offices, in cooperation with
bus operators and based on survey data. The programme includes improvements to facilities on
particular routes and installation or replacement of bus shelters.
The Brentwood Panel, Members and the public can provide information on locations where it is felt
that improvements can be made so that these are highlighted to the team and ensure that they are
considered for inclusion in a future programme.
Once the programme has been confirmed, this Panel will have no direct influence on this budget.
However recommendations can be presented to the budget holder, if the Panel can show that a
route or location is of a higher priority than one already identified.

Passenger Transport Improvements also includes ‘Safer Journeys to School Highway Works’.
Working in conjunction with schools to improve the safety of pupils and families on their journeys to

markings and pedestrian guardrails.
This Panel has no influence of this budget allocation as the works are identified through close
liaison with the Schools.
Community Initiative Fund
£34,000
This is a budget provided by ECC, an allocation of £1 million has been provided across the County.
Applications are received from Parishes and constituted bodies for works identified by them;
Officers assess feasibility and provide outline cost estimates for the works, ensuring that they fall
within the budget allocation for schemes (in 2009/10 this allocation was £25,000, but increased to
£50,000 in 2010/11). Once it has been confirmed that the scheme meets this criteria a judging
panel, consisting of the applicants, then sits in each District or Borough. A decision is then made
on which schemes can then go forward for implementation within the budget allocated to each
District or Borough. For 2010/11, four Districts/Borough applied for very small value projects, which
meant that the remaining Districts/Boroughs received budgets of £104,500, rather than an even
split of £83,333.
This Panel has no influence with this budget allocation.

REVENUE FUNDING
These are primarily reactive work (i.e. pothole repairs or gully emptying)
The budget allocations are applied on a formulaic approach, based on road length, population and
large town influence, followed by a moderation exercise involving the District Managers to address
any know pressures.
This Panel has no direct influence on these budgets however, can raise Officers attention to any
locations that they feel are of importance and of a ‘reactive’ nature so that a decision can be made
to action it, in line with current policies and standards.
This Panel does have influence on the following allocations:
Locally determined budget
(Highway Rangers and Local Highway Panel determined schemes)
£129,275
The Locally Determined Revenue Budget is a fund made available to those Districts in which a
Local Highway Panel has been formed. It enables them, within a finite budget allocation, to carry
out the Highway Rangers service and to implement schemes of importance within the community.
Landscaping trees (determined by the Local Highway Panel)
£5,000
In addition to the Locally Determined budget, the Cabinet Member for Highways and
Transportation has also identified £5,000 of funding for the replacement of trees. This Panel is
able to determine where this funding is used, when provided with a list of locations that meet the
specified criteria.

EDF and Officers anticipate that a response should be received by the end of December so
that works can proceed and be completed by the end of the financial year.
The puffin crossing on Queen’s Road, Brentwood – The bellmouth works and resurfacing are
complete. Minor works to the street lighting and the provision of additional guardrails are still to
be completed by County Council’s Partner SA2000. Officers are liaising with them, to progress
this as quickly as possible.
High Street and Crown Street
Members raised concerns at the last Panel meeting about parking enforcement and disabled
bays at the above locations. ECC Officers have submitted the application to the Department for
Transport (DfT) and at the time of writing have not received a response. Officers are actively
chasing the DfT for comment.
Highways Panel 9.11.10

The Capital traffic schemes set for the Borough of Brentwood are detailed within Addendum B, page 29.
.
Safer Roads Improvement Programme
Within Brentwood, two locations were identified for the 2010/11 programme, both on the A128, one at
it’s junction with Costead Manor Road and the other at it’s junction with Doddinghurst Road. Officers
have received estimates for these schemes and they currently exceed the initial budgets. Officers are
now looking at ways to reduce the costs to ensure that implementation can be achieved.
Signage for speed limit review
The review within the Borough on speed limits to ensure that they are within the guidelines set by the
Department for Transport (DfT) circular 1/2006 and the new ECC Speed Management Strategy is on
going. As reported previously to the Panel, all historical requests and any future requests for speed
limit changes received by Officers will now be logged and assessed under this Speed Management
Strategy review.
Passenger Transport Improvements
Route 81/82
As reported previously to the Panel, the Passenger Transport Improvements programme has been
affected by Government’s efficiency saving announcements. Since the last Panel meeting, Officers
have tried to secure additional funding for the current financial year to ensure that the scheme can go
ahead in its entirety, before the end of March 2011. Officers will provide a verbal report at the Panel
meeting.
As previously reported to the Panel, it is proposed that the road humps within Long Ridings Avenue
and Woodlands Avenue only, shall be replaced with speed cushions. The consultation has
commenced by letter to the residents of the roads affected (some 486 properties) on 13 September.
Of the responses received so far, there is overwhelming support for the proposal as shown below.
Officers are currently liaising with the Contractors prior to agreeing a start date in
November/December this year.

Brentwood Train Station – bus turnaround
Members will recall that funding has been approved for the scheme to reduce the size of the island
and removing the planter at Brentwood Train Station, in order to reduce the bus obstruction caused at
the turn-around. Following the formal advertisement of the proposal on 1 September, two objections
have been received. The basis of the objections is that there is concern over the adverse effect the
proposal will have on shops in this area and their customers. However, the purpose of the proposal is
to enable the buses that currently use this area to turn round, to do so safely and without obstruction.
The current restriction of ‘No stopping 7 am to 7 pm except buses’ is not enforceable as buses do not
actually stop in this location. The existing restriction does not permit vehicles to stop, even to load or
unload. The proposal of ‘No waiting at any time’ would permit loading or unloading and therefore be
beneficial to both shop owners and customers. Officers believe that the proposals would benefit shop
Highways Panel 9.11.10
21
owners and customers, as well as provide a more appropriate and enforceable waiting restriction for
this area. (See Addendum C, page 30) .
Objection summary:
Address
8 Sussex Road

23 Conifer Avenue
Concerning the Telematics (Real time passenger information), the Outline Business Case has been
approved by all three boards and an Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) notice will be
issued within the next few weeks.
The tender is for an Automatic Vehicle Location system for buses. Ultimately, the proposal is for all of
the buses in Essex, Southend and Thurrock to be fitted with Electronic Ticket Machines (ETM) that are
GPS and real time enabled and have a Smartcard function. The information from GPS tracking of
these ETM’s will not only supply real time information but also monitor punctuality, automate the
capture of passenger and journey information and provide traffic flow information.
Although the current supplier will not support the signs once they reach 10 years old, it is not intended
to replace the on-street signs but to specify that the new provider replace the internal workings to give
them a new lease of life.
Highways Community Initiative Fund (HCIF)
Members will note from the last Panel meeting that funding was allocated to two CIF schemes; the
installation of village gateways on Station Road, West Horndon, and junction improvements at
Swallows Cross.
The proposal for village gateways in Station Road West Horndon have now been designed and
submitted to the Contractor for estimates to be agreed, with a view for a possible start date on site in
December.
The estimate for the Swallows Cross improvement have now been received in the sum of £36,119,
which exceeds the original estimate. Officers are now looking at ways to reduce the costs in order
that implementation can be achieved.
Highway Localism Initiative
Tree Replacement £5,000
In addition to the Locally Determined budget, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transportation
has identified £5,000 for the improvement and enhancement of local communities through the planting
of trees. Since the last meeting of the Panel, Officers have liaised with the BBC Arboricultural Officer
to draw up a list of possible locations, below. The trees that are to be planted shall be a like-for-like
replacement; in that if a Silver Birch was historically removed, a Silver Birch shall be planted.
However, in some instances this may not be the case to ensure that those trees that are to be planted
are native, non-fruiting and most appropriate for the locations, as determined by the Aboricultural
Highways Panel 9.11.10
22
Officer. The trees planted shall be ‘standard’, in that they shall be 10-12cm in girth and stand
approximately 2m high. The costs stated below include stakes and tying.
The planting season is November to March, so Officers would recommend Members discuss the
proposed locations. A number of locations to the value of £620.10 need to be removed from the list,
as the current proposals exceed the allocation of £5,000. Once a decision on which locations are to
be removed and approval from the Panel has been granted, arrangements can be put in place for
these to progress as quickly as possible.

Locally Determined Revenue Budget (LDB) £129,275
As part of the Localism Initiative, the Highway Panel are tasked with prioritising and overseeing
Borough wide highway improvement schemes and influence the timetable of works carried out by the
Highway Rangers.
The Locally Determined Revenue Budget is a fund made available to those Districts and Boroughs in
which a Local Highway Panel has been formed. It enables them, within a finite budget allocation, to
carry out the Highway Rangers service and to implement schemes of importance within the
community. The budget allocation provided to the Borough of Brentwood for 2010/11 is £129,275.
a. The Highway Rangers
The Rangers essentially work to the requirements of the Local Highways Panel, carrying out day-today maintenance tasks such as clearing untidy areas, sign cleaning, removing unlawful signs, street
clutter and many other minor, yet important tasks to improvement the local environment. Within
Brentwood, the Rangers have been cutting back vegetation around traffic signs, cleaning and
repainting street name plates, cutting in grips where necessary. They have been in Stondon Massey,
Mountnessing and Warley so far. They are currently in the Hutton area. The programme for the rest
of the year is as follows. Dates have not been provided, as this will be dependent on how much work
has to be done in each area.

West Horndon

b. Disabled bays and adhoc signs and lines
An allocation for £4,000 for the installation of disabled bays and an additionally allowance of £5,000
for the installation of adhoc signs and lines were agreed by the Panel on 23 June 2010. No requests
of these types have been made to Officers and therefore it is proposed that these allocations be made
available for the Panel to determine its use.
c. Parking schemes already approved by the Panel and progressed
The Panel have previously approved the completion of the following parking schemes:

The request for improved signage at the mini-roundabout on the A129 Rayleigh Road at it’s junction

private funding. These works have now been ordered with the Contractor and Officers are currently
agreeing a start date on site.
Future Schemes
Maintenance
Members are presented in Addendum D (page32) with lists of road and footway sites assessed by
Officers, in priority order, 1 being the highest priority.
At the meeting of the Panel on 27 October 09, Members approved a list of sites as Priority 1 for
implementation should funding become available. From the list that was presented at the Panel at this
time, schemes were incorporated into the current Capital Programme discussed earlier. Sites that
could not be included are presented to Members.
Officers would ask that the lists of Priority 1 and 2 sites (pages 32 and 33) are approved by Members,
in preparation for the next financial year so that once funding has been approved Officer can compile a
programme of works.
Highways Panel 9.11.10

Traffic improvements
So that Members have an overview of the traffic requests received by Officers, Addendum E, page 38
provides the ‘Reserve Lists’ of all Traffic Improvement and Traffic Regulation Order (i.e. waiting
restrictions) requests received historically.
Any speed requests are now being logged and assessed under the Speed Management Strategy
review discussed earlier in the report.
Rollason Way and Wharf Road
At Members request, Officers have liaised with the developer of the above roads concerning the
concept of a Traffic Regulation Order being placed on the roads, particularly as the road is not yet
adopted. The development is still progressing and as such, the road will not be completed to an
adoptable standard until all major works and plant have been removed from site.
Adoption of highways is not a planning issue and therefore cannot be controlled by condition. The
Highway Authority (ECC in this case) cannot force developers to put roads forward for adoption.
Additionally developers currently dictate the time when they wish to discuss adoption. This may be
take place on completion of all the works, as mentioned earlier. Therefore, the adoption of the roads
is reliant on the activities of the developer and the completion of the highways, in line with ECC criteria
for adoption. This may take at least 18 months.
Another factor of the request made by Members is that the site is not of full occupancy. Consultation
is a legal requirement during the process of investigating a traffic regulation order, of the type
requested. Thus, this legal requirement cannot be met, until such time that occupancy has increased.
Conclusion
Members are invited to discuss the report and put forward any comments pertaining to current works
and programming. Members are also requested to comment on proposals put forward.

The Ward Member has requested that the Council consider the provision of
further parking restrictions in Pastoral Way between its junction with B186
Warley Hill and the first mini roundabout.
A number of complaints have been received by the Council concerning on
street parking in this location and of the difficulties that this causes to through
traffic towards the junction with Warley Hill.
The on street parking along this section of Pastoral Way causes vehicle
approaching Warley Hill to be on the wrong side of the road and has caused
difficulties with the passing of vehicles and led to a number of observed ‘near
misses’. Parking in Pastoral Way is currently controlled by a ‘No waiting
between 10am and 11am Monday to Friday parking restriction

and would need to be met from the Essex County Council Locally Determined

ACTION
REQUIRED
The Ward Member has requested that the Council considers the provision of a
junction improvement to the junction of Old Church Road and Church Road in
Mountnessing.
The Ward Member's concerns and those of the Parish Council are that the
junction is dangerous due to its historic layout.
Officers of this Council, the County Council, the Parish Council and the Ward
Member recently met at the site to review the concerns raised. It was evident
that the majority of traffic entering from Old Church Road into Church Road
encouraged by the very shape of the junction, do not slow down leading to the
risk of collisions with traffic on Church Road. It is the case that Church Road is
signed as the major road with Old Church Road controlled with ‘give way’
markings forming a very acute junction leading to difficulties for a driver
observing to the right. However, Essex County Council has indicated that no
43
Highways Panel 9.11.10
reported injury accidents have been reported during the 5 year period between
11th October 2005 to 10th October 2010.
The appendix shows an improved junction arrangement which will remove any
unnecessary risk from the existing layout and creating a parking area for the
adjacent properties in the redundant length of carriageway.
The cost of the proposal contained in the appendix if approved, is estimated at
£15000 and would need to be met from the Essex County Council Locally
Determined Budget when funds become available. Members will be aware that
funding this year is particularly difficult and construction unlikely to take place in
this financial year. If Members are minded to approve the proposal then the
scheme will be placed in the list of Traffic Improvement Requests awaiting ECC
funding.
Members' views are requested.

ACTION
REQUIRED
There are no particular legal issues other than the normal
requirements for traffic regulation orders and other
highways legislation as appropriate.
Overall finance of this Agency activity is a matter for
Essex County Council to determine as Highways
Authority.
There are no additional staffing implications, as the work
would need to be carried out from existing staff resources.
There are no additional risk management implications.
There are no asset management implications.
All schemes covered by the CDM regulations have a
Health and Safety file established in compliance with
those regulations, and this file covers all the legislative
requirements.
There are no additional diversity implications.
Members' views are requested.
Following the formal advertisement of the proposal which took place on 1st
September 2010, 2 objections have been received.
The basis of the residents’ objections is that they are concerned over the
adverse effect the proposals will have on themselves. The displaced vehicles
will be forced to park further into Westbourne Drive which will simply cause a
similar problem to the remaining residents. Occasionally there are issues with
non-residents parking in the road but the proposed restrictions are not a
solution to this occasional problem and would also have a detrimental effect on
the value of their properties.

Highways Panel 9.11.10
Members’ views are requested as to whether to proceed with the proposal in its
current form or to take no further action on the proposal, as any extension of
the proposal would require additional funds which are not currently available.
DECIDED:
Objection Summary
Address
23
Westbourne
Drive
2 Shevon Way
Objection
Would need to park outside someone else’s house
which does not produce a desired effect. Would
only shift the problem further along the road.
House value would also suffer as a result of
restrictions. Proposed restrictions are not a
solution.
Will create bad feeling among residents and effect
house prices. Would inconvenience some
residents who work shifts as they would need to
move their vehicles during restricted periods.
