A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Corporate and Support Services (copies of which had been circulated) regarding a request from Network Rail and their contractors to occupy land at the Lapwing Centre for use as a compound during maintenance works to the Reddish Viaduct for a period of sixteen works from February 2016.

A representative of the Network Rail attended the meeting to discuss the proposals.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         It was confirmed that about fifteen to twenty car parking spaces would be required and that these would be contained in the identified area.

·         Concern was expressed about the volume and weight of materials being delivered to the site and the route which would be taken by the delivery vehicles. Potholes would need reinstating after the works had been completed.

·         It was confirmed that residents in the local area had been advised of the proposals.

·         Members expressed concern that a report on this proposal had not been submitted to them at an earlier stage.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
