- View the background to item 76.
Report of the Executive Director Environment, Development & Housing (copy attached).
Decision:
1. That Committee authorises the Executive Director to continue discussions with Network Rail and to agree such repairs that a) comply with the historic legal agreements regarding the maintenance of the footbridge, and b) which can be accommodated within existing budgets.
2. That the Executive Director submits a further report to this committee outlining possible future options for the footbridge, following further detailed inspections and discussions with Network Rail.
Minutes:
76.1 The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director Environment, Development & Place that outlined the history, ownership and condition of Hove Station Footbridge following a request from the Committee at its meeting on 7 October requesting officers bring a report to the next available meeting.
76.2 The Head of Transport Strategy & Projects added a further verbal update to the Committee on activity since the report was published. Further constructive discussions had taken place between council officers and Network Rail that had resulted in a joint visual inspection of the Bridge and agreement from Network Rail that they would carry out a detailed principle structural inspection of the Bridge during the next financial year. That inspection and its results would be fundamental to any further discussion of the future of the Bridge as it would inform of its condition and any value of future investment in it.

1. That Committee authorises the Executive Director to continue discussions with Network Rail and to agree such repairs that a) comply with the historic legal agreements regarding the maintenance of the footbridge, and b) which can be accommodated within existing budgets.
