Decision Maker: Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Finance

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To allow health and safety works to be carried out to Mapperley Tunnel.

Decision:

To approve the professional fees and license with Nottingham City Council.

Reasons for the decision:

The entrance to Mapperley Tunnel is currently exposed which is a health and safety concern. In order to make the area safe we need to access the tunnel via the land belonging to Nottingham City Council.

Alternative options considered:

An alternative would be to access Mapperley Tunnel via air however this would incur excessive costs and therefore approval of the professional fees and license with Nottingham City Council would seem preferable.
