Decision:

Cabinet received a report which sought approval for the final business case for provision of additional parking in Station Road Gerrards Cross.

1.      the final business case for the project be approved.

 

2.      the construction period would be January-December 2020 unless agreement could be reached to allow the car park to be closed over the 2019 Christmas trading period, be noted.

 

3.      the Head of Environment be authorised to conclude the delivery agreement between Balfour Beatty and the Council for the construction phase.

 

4.      the Head of Finance be authorised to carry out the necessary arrangements to obtain the loan finance.
