In January 2015 the Government announced a Growth Deal Extension, increasing Kent County Council’s Local Growth Fund allocation for Highways and Transportation projects to £109 million. Of the 24 transport projects allocated Local Growth Fund, four will be delivered by third party organisations. This includes the delivery of Ashford Spurs Rail Project by Network Rail and A20 Improvements in Dover as part of Dover Western Docks Revival to be managed by Dover Harbour Board.
Approval is sought to develop agreements for the transfer of funding and conditions of spend to Network Rail in respect of the Ashford Spurs scheme and Dover Harbour Board in respect of Dover A20 Improvements Scheme. This will enable the delivery of these two projects by the respective delivery organisation in accordance with Kent County Council requirements and the LEP Assurance Framework.
