Clean Air Zone programme additional spend request
25/03/2020 - Clean Air Zone programme additional spend request
•In March 2018 Cabinet authorised the
receipt and spending of up to £2m grant funding from JAQU
(the Joint Air Quality Unit) for the Clean Air Zone Feasibility
Study. Due to the additional work required by Central Government
before approval of a final scheme can be granted, the project
forecast now exceeds this. Additional funding is therefore required
to continue developing the Full Business Case, due for submission
in September 2020. JAQU have confirmed the provision of additional
funding, however, pending further approval being sought at the next
Cabinet on the 9th April 2020, it is necessary to make this
decision to cover funding up to that point.
•This will take the total spend to date up to £2.5m. The
additional spend not covered by the Cabinet approval is estimated
as £476,000, and the Executive Director of Resources –
Head of Paid Service has delegated authority to approve this. The
decision is to approve both the receipt of these funds from JAQU
and the spend up to the next Cabinet approval.
•The Cabinet report will then include a request for additional
spend to take the project through to the completion of the Full
Business Case and also to begin implementation of the medium zone
which will be a further £12m.
