Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Commercial Strategy and Investments

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Cabinet Member:

 

1) Authorised the issue of the following work package to Skanska Construction UK Limited under the Council’s existing Peterborough Highway Services Contract;

 

£500k p.a. from 2019/20 – 2023/24 (£2.5m total) Street Lighting Cable Network funding

 

Reasons for the decision:

This will enable Peterborough to improve the power supply to its street lights. This will reduce the likelihood of large numbers of street lights being left without power.

Alternative options considered:

Not to deliver a programme of works: This has been dismissed as it would put the Council at risk of having large volumes of street lights not working due to defective cabling that supplies them with electricity.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.
