Report by Interim Executive Director with responsibility for Roads and Infrastructure

The Committee gave consideration to a report relating to the on-going flood risk on the A814 West Clyde Street in Helensburgh between John Street and William Street. The report provided details on how two existing budgets could be combined to take the project forward and detailed the management of roadworks in the surrounding area.

It was noted that references to the ‘Coastal Communities Fund’ in the report should read ‘Crown Estates Fund’.

Decision

The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee agreed:

1.    to combine the CHORD surplus budget of £152,600 for Flood Mitigation Works in John/William Streets, Helensburgh with the Crown Estates funding of £300,000 for Helensburgh Flood Mitigation and allocate the total of £452,600 to Helensburgh Flood Mitigation Works;

2.    that the Helensburgh Flood Mitigation Works project be allocated to the Roads and Infrastructure Service as a single line on the Council’s capital programme;

3.    that the remaining roadworks on John Street, James Street and surrounding side streets totalling £113,866.22 be added to the Roads and Infrastructure Service Capital Programme as a single line under Helensburgh CHORD Roadworks; and

4.    to close out reporting under the CHORD Project heading, with all subsequent reports being undertaken by the relevant service team under the appropriate Capital Programme heading.
