Resolved:

                     i.        That officers will continue to undertake work to establish the ownership of the bridge and responsibilities for any maintenance, improvements or strengthening works be noted.

                    ii.        That approval be given that officers develop a bridge strengthening scheme as per option 5 of the report.

                  iii.        That authority be delegated to the Director of Environment, Transport & Planning to undertake the procurement of a suitable contractor to carry out the bridge strengthening works in accordance with the Contract Procedure Rules.

                  iv.        That once ownership of the bridge has been ascertained as a Council responsibility, authority be delegated to the Director of Environment, Transport & Planning in consultation with Head of Procurement and Director of Governance to take all necessary steps to award and enter into the resulting contract.

 

Reason: The temporary weight restriction has caused traffic to displace to other routes and roads which if the bridge is not strengthened would require mitigation in terms of the additional traffic.
