DECISIONS

 

59.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to:

 

1) approve that the County Council enters a Memorandum of Understanding with the South Downs National Park Authority; and

 

2) delegate authority to the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport to negotiate and agree the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding.

 

REASONS

 

59.3     During discussions on the Exceat Bridge replacement scheme the National Park Authority identified a number of additional local transport improvements around the Bridge and Seven Sisters Country Park area which were not included in the scope of the bridge replacement project.

 

59.4     Therefore both parties agreed in principle, subject to approval, they would enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) setting out how they intend to work together to attempt to bring forward these additional transport improvements. These schemes will be subject to the availability of funding and developed within 7 years of entering into the MoU.
