Agenda item

Consideration was given to a report of the Director of the Built Environment in respect of the Riverside Walk Millennium Bridge.

Members were informed that the Project Sub Committee had considered this report at their recent Meeting and were keen to seek clarification on wider risk issues. 

Members were happy to approve Option C on the basis that if there were issues with the test borehole then the matter should be referred back to the Committee.  It was suggested to involve students at the City of London School in the recording work at the borehole.

RESOLVED – That,

a)     The additional costs of £18, 200 (fees and staff costs) for Option C to enable the necessary ground investigations to take place on Paul’s Walk, to be funded from the approved project budget;

b)     Should there be issues with the boreholes, then the matter should be referred back to the Committee; and

c)     It be noted that the project programme would be extended by nine months.
