Issue - meetings

Report by Executive Director of Development and Infrastructure Services

The Committee gave consideration to a report providing an update on the work undertaken to date in relation to the Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund. 

Decision:

Members agreed to:

1.    note the additional work undertaken to develop understanding of the shortlisted projects;

2.    note that the outline business cases are still based on broad assumptions and that further feasibility and design work is required to confirm designs, costs and solutions to technical issues which might arise as a result of the proposed projects.  Such issues may affect the viability of the proposed projects; and

3.    recommend to Policy and Resources Committee:-

                      i.        that the 6 projects listed in paragraph 4.19 should be taken forward with the budgets as detailed and that work should commence on full business cases which will be reported back to committee for approval as they become available; and

                     ii.        the list of 4 reserve projects listed at paragraph 4.22 in the event that any of the projects agreed to be taken to full business case are unable to proceed.
