27.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
DECISIONS
27.2 RESOLVED to authorise the novation of the Bexhill to Hastings Link Road Archaeology Subcontract over to East Sussex County Council to be overseen by the County Archaeologist.
Reasons
27.3 The novation will provide the County Council with direct control of the work which means it can be undertaken at an affordable cost, proportionate to the significance of the findings of the fieldwork, and to spread the cost over a longer period of time during which alternative sources of funding may be sought.
