A Yorkshire council is set to take £120,000 from its highways maintenance budget to pay for a cycle lane which has gone over budget.
The new cycle route runs between Manvers Way and Wath town centre, and Rotherham Council say it allows residents to access work in Manvers and Wath-upon-Dearne. Cash to fund the project was secured from the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. However, in a budget report to the authority’s cabinet, it is proposed to take £120,000 out of the highways maintenance budget to finish the project.
The scheme included significant carriageway resurfacing, at a value of £165,000, excluding additional surfacing identified on-site and already paid for by highways. “Therefore, it is proposed that £120,000 is moved from the highways maintenance budget to the budget for the Wath to Manvers Cycleway to fund the overspend.
