Decision details

Work includes the replacement of a dilapidated retaining wall.

to appoint Coating Service Limited, who submitted the most economically advantageous and methodologically sound tender, to commence retaining wall reconstruction works at the A672 Oldham Road, Denshaw

Option 1 is to reconstruct the retaining wall after first stabilising the foundations using concrete piles anchored into the bedrock.
Option 2 is to maintain the existing temporary stabilisation works in the short to medium term and monitor the existing adjacent retaining walls for signs of movement. However, this option comes with the risk that the temporary stabilisation works may themselves fail over time which could result in even more damage to the adjacent retaining walls and pose a threat to the safety of the public and increase the costs of the permanent works.

Option 2

Consultation with ward members prior to works being carried out.
