Maidstone Borough Council, parish council and Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections are taking place today. You can find your polling station on our webpage.
Mrs
Fran Wallis, the Local Economy Project Officer, presented a report
proposing to enter into a Section 278 agreement with Kent Highways
in order to carry out Phase 3 of the Public Realm regeneration
scheme.
Mrs
Wallis confirmed that since the report had last been taken to the
Committee, six tenders had been received and there was no shortfall
in funding due to the value of the tenders received.
The two
options that Mrs Wallis presented to the Committee were that the
Committee could instruct the Monitoring Officer to enter into a
Section 278 agreement or do nothing. The do nothing option would
result in the scheme not progressing as a Section 278 agreement was
required for the scheme to progress.
RESOLVED:
That delegated authority is given to the Head of Mid
Kent Legal Services to enter into a s278
agreement with Kent County Council for the Phase 3 Public Realm
Highway Works.
