The above works have been designed by the
Unity Partnership Highways Team. The works will be delivered by the
Council’s Highways Operations Team and will exceed
£250,000. The highway works are the subject of a S278
agreement between Oldham Council and the Department for Education
(DfE), due to be signed imminently, and will be fully funded by the
DfE, half the costs when the agreement is signed and half on
completion of the works, so in the interim period the costs will be
incurred by the Council.
RESOLVED - That:
Enter into the legal agreement with the DfE, receive half of the
scheme funding on doing so, deliver the highway scheme over the
summer months of 2021 and incur costs up to completion of the
scheme, whereby the remaining costs will be claimed back from the
DfE. This option fulfils the planning condition outlined above as
part of the original planning approval.
