Agenda item

To consider the report of the Executive Director, Environment.

A Member commented that some figures in the report appeared to have been adjusted to arrive at a specific figure, and that a cost increase was likely in respect of construction work. Members heard that most of the fees had already been covered, and that the simplicity of the works meant that there did not appear to be any increased risk of cost increase.

A Member asked about the Giltspur St bus stands, and the meeting heard that those bus stands would be shifted to accommodate the wider footway and that a more widely-scoped consideration of the transport in the area was being undertaken. A Member commented that bus traffic in the area needed to be carefully considered.

1.        Approve of the budget adjustment summarised in table 2 Appendix 3;
