Decision details

Anne-Marie Parkinson presented a report which contained Growth Deal Programme and Project Updates.

In addition to receiving the information contained within the report, it was stated that the completion date of the M55 to St Anne's Link Road scheme had slipped to September 2021. It was advised that, due to the continued slippage of the scheme programme since 2015 and concerns regarding the extension of the scheme programme following the end of the Growth Deal Programme, that a further update should be obtained from the Project Applicant as a matter of urgency, with an update provided to the next meeting of the Growth Deal Management Board.

It was agreed that the document presenting the Growth Deal Programme – Project Metrics data be altered for future meetings to enable the Growth Deal Management Board to understand progress/slippage towards the achievement of the core output targets.
