Salford City Council - Record of Decision

I Councillor Tracy Kelly, Deputy City Mayor, in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council Constitution do hereby approve:

1.    The proposed way forward relating to remaining development in Central Salford.

2.    That Salford City Councils existing development partner English Cities Fund (ECF), be instructed to undertake detailed design work in order for the council & ECF to ascertain a greater understanding of scheme costs and viability.

3.    That further report(s) be brought forward at the appropriate stage seeking approval to the detailed commercial arrangements.

The Reasons are:

1.    To facilitate delivery of remaining development in Central Salford through the Council’s existing development partnership with English Cities Fund (ECF)

2.      To maximise the opportunity to lever in external grant funding sources that are currently available to both the Council and its development partner ECF.

Options considered and rejected were:

Not to progress with development at the present time.  However, the opportunity that currently exists to support development through current funding opportunities and the Council’s partnership with ECF would be lost. 

Assessment of Risk: Medium

If the proposed way forward, detailed in the report, is not approved, there is a significant risk that successfully completing development in Central Salford will not happen for many years.
