Purpose:

Purpose:
To fully approve WECA funding of £390k to deliver the CRSTS Somer Valley Links Full Business Case (FBC). This is funded by drawing from existing CRSTS allocation held for delivery and construction. The £390k will be allocated to:
i) Uplift the BANES capital programme by £60k
ii) Release match funding of £330k and replace with WECA grant

Decision:

To approve Somer Valley Links Capital FBC award of £390k. This is fully funded by WECA CRSTS grant.

Alternative options considered:

To not progress with full FBC or to reduce the detail it contains. These options were dismissed; a robust FBC needs to be submitted as part of the WECA decision making, to ensure the project will deliver clearly defined benefits.
