A representative of the Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) updating the Area Committee on progress with decisions taken at previous meetings and on the current position on the Area Committee’s delegated budgets.

In response to a query raised by the Chair, the representative of the Deputy Chief Executive reported that due to budget pressures it was unlikely that the remaining £3,861 needed to progress the provision of additional laybys on Lisburne Lane, Offerton (Minute 10 of 8 August 2017 refers) was not available from strategic resources. It was suggested that the Area Committee may wish to make up this shortfall by increasing its contribution to the scheme from £7,722 to £11,583 (with Stockport Homes contributing a further £3,861).

RESOLVED – (1) That the report be noted.

(2) That the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration be authorised to utilise a further £3,861 from the Area Committee’s delegated budget (Offerton Ward allocation) toward the cost of the provision of additional laybys/ parking capacity on Lisburne Lane, Offerton (Minute 10 of 8 August 2017 refers) in order that the scheme can be progressed.
