The Board received a programme update on the Clay Cross Town Deal projects, as well as an evaluation of the associated risks moving forward. This included an update on the Town Centre Regeneration project, on overview of the current timetable and an explanation of the Local Regeneration Fund. The Board also viewed images of the ongoing construction work taking place in Baileys Square.

The Board discussed the update. Some Members had questions relating to Section 278 (S278) agreements and Bridge Street. The S278s that were required were explained and it was clarified that bridge street had never been unadopted by the Highways Authority. In this context, the progress of the dropped curve on Broadleys was shared and the route for delivery vehicles was clarified.

Some Members raised concerns regarding the bungalows that back on to the Baileys Square project. It was suggested that contractors be asked to ensure they leave the gardens as they found them. The process for restoring the gardens to their original state was explained and it was highlighted that the Council welcomed tenants of the bungalows to bring forward any issues and would work to resolve them positively.

RESOLVED –

That the update be noted.
