Consideration was given to a report, which followed up a request made the Panel in January 2008 to identify the cost to the Council of adding Chapel Alley, Fulford to the List of Streets Maintainable at the public expense (LoS).

Officers updated that the figure included for the manufacture and installation of a cycle barrier was now £900 and not £2,600 as stated in paragraph 11 of the report.

Members were reminded that both the proposed options would have the same financial implications for the Councils, as the highway authority would ultimately become liable for the maintenance of the surface of Chapel Alley.

Option A – Do not accept the presented costing of the scheme, but continue to progress the Definitive Map Modification Order application method, to add the path to the Definitive Map, as and when resources allow.

Option B – Accept the presented costing of the scheme and add the path to the List of Streets Maintainable at the public expense (LoS) with immediate effect.
