Decision details

Approval is sought to undertake highway works on Station Road, Bamber Bridge as one of the Priority Transport Corridors and Local Centres within the Preston South Ribble and Lancashire City Deal.

The Committee considered a report on proposed highway improvement works for the Bamber Bridge local centre.  It was noted that the report asked the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport to approve the proposals for implementation and the commencement of the detailed design phase.

The Committee was informed that the total cost of the proposed works would be met from funding already secured through the Preston, South Ribble and Lancashire City Deal.  It was reported that the total cost of the works was £3.35m and not £1.4m, as set out in the financial implications section of the report.  Members were informed that the £1.4m related only to the cost of the phase one works and that the revised overall cost of the proposed works did not have any effect on the recommendation to the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport.

Resolved:  That the recommendations set out in the report to the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport be noted, and that no additional comments or suggested alternative recommendations be made.
