Decision details
York Street - Phase 2 Vault Repairs: Additional Budget
Decision Maker: Director of Sustainable Communities
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To fund the completion of committed highways
works to York Street to replace waterproofing above the vault and
reconstruct the road to complete the repairs and reduce risk of any
premature failure of the vault in the future. At the same time to
improve the public realm in York Street between Kingston Parade and
Stall street and the northern section of Swallow Street which
included resurfacing in in high-quality natural stone.
Decision:
To fully approve capital amounting to
£175k from capital contingency.
Alternative options considered:
Do Nothing: the Council has a responsibility
for maintenance of this structure and the road above - it would
have failed to deliver its statutory obligations. The project also
delivers improvements to the access to the new World Heritage
Visitor Centre and Clore Learning Centre so it was included in the
bid for funding for these from National Heritage Lottery
Funding.
