Cabinet considered a report in relation to Padiham Public Realm Improvements.

Burnley Borough Council, supported by the county council, had recently been successful in a bid to the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership to fund public realm improvements on Burnley Road, Padiham. Cabinet was informed that the Borough Council had indicated a willingness to enter into a formal section 278 agreement for the design, delivery and payment of the works, and this would be managed by the county council as the Highway Authority.

Resolved:

That,

(i)  approval be given to the county council entering into a section 278 agreement under which the council will accept staged payments totalling £2,072,873 from Burnley Borough Council together with any other additional financial resources for the project that may be agreed.

(ii)  payments received be added to the Highways block of the 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22 capital programme in advance of any application for payment from the appointed contractor.
