Decision details

The Department for Transport (DfT) has allocated, in principle, £17m of Local Growth Fund (LGF) to support the delivery of the A2300 corridor improvements scheme, subject to submission and approval of a full business case. Following the submission of an outline business case by the County Council in June 2018, £1.70m of the LGF was provided by the DfT to assist with the design and development of the full business case.

In June 2019, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure delegated authority to the Director of Highways, Transport and Planning to submit the full business case and to award the construction contract to the selected contractor.

The Director of Highways, Transport and Planning has:

1)        approved the full business case for submission to the Department for Transport;

2)        awarded the construction contracts to Jackson Civil Engineering Group Limited (subject to the approval of the full business case by the Department for Transport); and

3)        approved the remaining capital allocation (subject to the approval of the full business case by the Department for Transport).
