Decision - Valley Gardens Phase 3 project update

As noted in the recommendations for Valley Gardens Phase 3 (February 2019 ETS Report), a third public consultation process has now been conducted. Furthermore, stakeholder engagement design workshops have also taken place across key stakeholder focus groups. The new City Transport Professional Services Framework has been used to tender and procure a contract, and appoint a consultant, to work with council officers to progress the scheme design. This report updates members on the initial outcomes of these processes, and outlines the next steps of the project.

1)             That the Committee notes the outcome of the most recent public consultation and stakeholder engagement as set out within Appendices 1 and 2 of this report.

2)             That the Committee requests that the detailed scheme design for Valley Gardens Phase 3 is brought to Committee for approval in 2021 following officers’ consideration of the public consultation and Stakeholder engagement responses.
