Z26193 Weir Footbridge (Lovelock) Maintenance

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Highways, Assets and Transport

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To seek the Cabinet Member's approval to proceed with the procurement and delivery of Weir Footbridge (Lovelock Bridge) Maintenance scheme.

Decision:

That the Cabinet Member:

 

Approves, under Protocol 5 of the Council’s Financial Regulations, to proceed with the procurement and delivery of Weir Footbridge (Lovelock Bridge) Maintenance scheme at an estimated cost of £100.000.

Reasons for the decision:

1.    To ensure long-term serviceability of the structure.

 

2.    To stop further injury to the public.

 

 

Alternative options considered:

Do nothing: The bridge is long overdue this essential maintenance and it has been previously deferred. Without maintenance, the bridge will deteriorate into a further state of disrepair until the point that it will not be economically viable to maintain and the bridge would need to be closed. This is the main pedestrian access into Bakewell Town Centre from the adjacent car parking provision.
