The Reasons are: RHS Garden Bridgewater is due to open in May 2021 and, alongside investment in purchasing the land for the garden and part-funding of the on-site works, the City Council has already built a new access junction into the garden from Leigh Road (A572) and undertaken improvement works at junction 13 to improve local traffic flows. This appointment will enable the final piece of off-site highway works to improve walking and cycling links to the site. Subject to Procurement Board and GMCA funding approvals the scheme will commence on site on 25 January 2021 and complete by 15 October 2021

 

Options considered and rejected were: Do nothing – this would mean visitors, particularly those from the local community would be more likely to access the RHS Garden Bridgewater by car, resulting in more air pollution, congestion and a missed opportunity to provide sustainable travel infrastructure to support active travel and healthier lifestyles.

 

Assessment of Risk: Low – The Design team are experienced in managing schemes of this nature and the contractor is an SCC approved Landscape Framework contractor who has a successful track record of delivering schemes on behalf of the City Council.

 

The source of funding is: This scheme is to be funded via the Mayor’s Challenge Fund, Growth Deal 3 grant funding and SCC capital programme monies. The City Council will claim any grant funding in arrears on a quarterly basis. A business case seeking approval to the funds for this scheme was submitted to the GMCA on 28 September 2020 and will be presented to the  ...  view the full decision text for item 5c
