Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report seeking approval to prepare a full business case for the A582 Major Road Network Focused Scheme, as well as requesting use of the county council's powers of Compulsory Purchase and to authorise both the preparation of Compulsory Purchase and Side Road Orders and a Statement of Reasons for the junction configuration at and near the Croston Road Junction in the Moss Side and Farington Division, and to acquisition by agreement to facilitate that part of the scheme.

 

The report also sought approval to use up to £6m of previously approved local match funding to facilitate the ongoing development activity, including the matters in the report, and land acquisition.
