Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

NB: This report has been considered and approved by the Streets & Walkways Sub-Committee and is due to be considered by the Projects Sub-Committee.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment concerning the progress of the experimental safety scheme as part of the improvements to Bank Junction and the reallocation of Section 106 funding to the Scheme.

A Member reminded the Sub-Committee of the role of the Projects Sub-Committee in determining the method by which a project should be undertaken and questioned whether that Sub-Committee had been consulted on the final experimental option being pursued. Members were advised that an options paper had been considered earlier this year by the relevant Sub-Committees, including the Projects Sub-Committee, and that the purpose of the current report being considered was to take the preferred experimental option to the next stage.

It was suggested that the reallocation of funding be delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman for approval subject to confirmation that an options paper had been considered by the Projects Sub-Committee previously. Members supported the suggestion.

RESOLVED – That the reallocation of funding totalling £98,571 be delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman for approval, subject to confirmation that an options paper had been considered by the Projects Sub-Committee previously.
