Decision details

A presentation was made by an officer from Atkins, with copies of the report on the scheme being made available with the full agenda prior to the meeting.

This review represents Atkins' independent scrutiny of the Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) for the East Lancashire Strategic Cycleway Network scheme. The scheme, which is being promoted by Lancashire County Council, is seeking Full Approval from the Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and funding via the Local Growth Deal.

The submission demonstrates that the project has been developed to the expected standard in most areas, and overall it Atkins recommendation that it is given full approval subject to meeting criteria set out in section 2.7 of the report.  However Members concluded that there was insufficient information contained in the report for them to support that recommendation at this stage, and requested a revised submission be brought to the next meeting.

Resolved:

(i)  The Committee requested that a revised submission be brought to the next TfL meeting.

(ii)  The Chair thanked Mr Malik for his reports and presentations to the
Committee.
