The Executive member considered a report that set out progress to date on schemes in the 2018/19 Economy & Place Transport Capital Programme, and proposed adjustments to scheme allocations to align with the latest cost estimates and delivery projections.

Officers provided an update on major schemes and transport schemes for 2018-19. With regard to the Scarborough Bridge Route Improvements, they advised that the cost for the replacement of the steps between St Mary’s to St Mary’s Lane with a ramp should be £45,000 but this this increase could be accommodated in the overall underspend for the bridge.

The Executive Member noted that a separate report on Scarborough Bridge would be prepared for his consideration at a future meeting.
