Issue details

Purpose of Report: Members previously gave approval to merge the proposals for the York Outer Ring Road junction and dualling improvements into a single programme (‘the scheme’) of planning and delivery. The report seeks three decisions to ensure that momentum is maintained throughout the remainder of the lockdown period, and that a rapid start up to development work on the scheme is in place to ensure that there is no pause due the Covid-19 virus.

Members are asked to consider the options outlined in the report.

The Council aims to give the same 28 days clear notice of non key decisions as it does for key decisions, but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible.  In this case, the item is being considered as an urgent matter to ensure that momentum is maintained throughout the remainder of the lockdown period, and that a rapid start up to development work on the scheme is in place to ensure that there is no pause due the Covid-19 virus.
