Issue details

Burnley Borough Council (the Funder) has been successful in securing "Levelling Up Fund" monies for significant improvement works to the route between Burnley Town Centre and the Turf Moor Football stadium.  Burnley Borough Council has confirmed it is willing to enter into an S278 Agreement for the delivery and payment of the works.  Lancashire County Council Highways Operations will be the deliverer of the works to approved specification and the overall financial liability for the design and delivery of the works remains the responsibility of Burnley Borough Council.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C20 have been complied with. Compliance with Standing Order C19 was not possible due to only recently receiving confirmation of funding and knowing the need to commence works from 2 January 2023 to meet "Levelling Up Fund" funding conditions.
