Report by Corporate Director: Environment & Place

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

a)    Delegate authority to the Corporate Director of Environment and Place toprocure the design and construction (subject to consultation) of the A4144 Woodstock Road Sustainable Transport Measures scheme through appointment of Milestone Infrastructure Ltd (MIL) under the Highways Partnership Contract to a Task Order value up to £ £3,050,000 inc VAT.

Councillor Judy Roberts introduced officers and members of the public to the meeting. Officers noted that the recommendation was to note the value of the contract, rather than the design. Cllr Roberts picked up on the point around the finalization of the design of the scheme, but was reassured by officers that public consultation was still to take place. Cllr Roberts noted some of the challenges of cycling on Woodstock Road.

Cllr Roberts thanked officers for their work on the report and agreed to the recommendations within it.

RESOLVED to:

a) Delegate authority to the Corporate Director of Environment and Place to procure the design and construction (subject to consultation) of the A4144 Woodstock Road Sustainable Transport Measures scheme through appointment of Milestone Infrastructure Ltd (MIL) under the Highways Partnership Contract to a Task Order value up to £ £3,050,000 inc VAT.
