Decision details

To seek approval for a financial contribution towards the cost of improving a section of Bestwood Lodge Drive that is unadopted carriageway.

That the Leader of the Council:

a) Approves a financial contribution of 25% towards the cost of improving a section of Bestwood Lodge Drive that is unadopted carriageway. This section is referred to on the plans as being between Points C and D.

To ensure the carriageway works are completed at the same time to maximise financial efficiency and minimise disruption to residents and park users.

Alternative options include not providing a financial contribution which would put the resurfacing works between Points C and D in jeopardy. Whilst it is recognised that there is no identified legal obligation on the Council to repair the road as it is unadopted, it provides another access route into the park for users and park maintenance.

A lower level of financial contribution, which again could put the delivery of the works in doubt.
