Purpose:

This report provides an update on the budget for the Hereford City Centre Transport Package (HCCTP) project and seeks approval of budget adjustments.

Decision:

That:

(a)       within the overall capital programme allocation of £40.651 million for the Hereford city centre transport package (HCCTP), a £1.377m  increase in budget for City Link Road Land Acquisition to £16.25m, and a £1.318m reduction in budget for the Transport Hub and Public Realm to £5.172m, be approved; and

(b)  the Director for Economy and Place in consultation with the Section 151 officer be authorised to take all operational decisions necessary to make the remaining City Link Road land acquisition payments.

 

 

Alternative options considered:

1.         None, the remaining City Link Road land acquisition payments are statutory payments due in line with the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) and therefore the budget split has to be adjusted to enable these payments to be made.

 

Reason Key: Strategic nature / impact on communities;

Wards Affected: Aylestone Hill; Central; College; Eign Hill; Widemarsh;

Consultees

As part of the ongoing development of the remaining elements of the package a public consultation including local members is proposed that will provide opportunity for feedback from the public. Prior to this there will be a series of workshops with key stakeholders designed to refine to the design before presenting to the public. The feedback from the consultation and engagement will be collated into a consultation report. This will then be used to inform the design development.
