Decision details

Considered – A report of the Corporate Director for Environment providing an update on the Harrogate Station Gateway Transforming Cities Fund Project and seeking support for further work on options for the project.

Councillor Keane Duncan introduced the report, drawing attention to the current project position following the rescinding of the Executive’s previous decision to move forward with the Gateway as a result of a legal challenge. 

Having acknowledged the collective will across the Council to try and secure investment for Harrogate, and not lose the £11m TCF funding, he welcomed the proposal to undertake further work on the possible options for the project and agreed it was right to take a step back to consider all of those options to better understand what was deliverable.

Having voted in favour of the recommendation within the report, it was

Resolved – That the current project position be noted, and that further work be undertaken on possible options for the Project, with a further report brought to Executive in October/November setting out those options for consideration.
