Update of Highway Asset Management Strategy and Policy

Application for grant funding from the DfT Structures Fund

Decision maker:  Corporate Director of Resources

Decision:   3 Aug 2026

Lead officer:  Philip Richardson

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 22/07/2026

Reason for urgency:
The Department for Transport announced the funding opportunity with a short application period and the submission deadline falls before completion of the normal call-in period. Delaying implementation of the decision would prevent or significantly prejudice the Council's ability to submit an application for grant funding of between £25 million and £50 million for the Selby Swing Bridges scheme. A call-in exemption has therefore been sought to enable submission of the funding application by the Department's deadline
