Decision:

To agree the terms of a licence with Network Rail in order to allow the Council to make alterations to Network Rail’s property by removing the company’s palisade fence from its existing position and re-erecting it in a position agreed with the Company’s Asset Protection Engineer. This will allow the Council to widen construct and maintain a footway and cycleway on the Company’s property known as Great Western Way. The Licence will permit improvements to the existing footpath and the necessary rights to enable the public to use the existing footway and such part of those works as is designed for that purpose. Works under the Licence are to be completed in 6 months.
