This paper concerns the Ryde Transport
Interchange Project which is being funded by the Department for
Transport as a part of the Transforming Cities Fund in partnership
with Portsmouth City Council and Hampshire County Council. The
£10million grant for the Island will fund reinstatement of
the tramway pier, refurbishment of the station/bus interchange and
improved approaches with local transport partners providing a
further c.£30million of complimentary contributions. The
project is based on the Ryde Interchange scheme previously approved
following consultation in 2008. The project is subject to tight
timescales due to DfT and partner funding constraints and requires
key decisions to be made prior to the next Cabinet meeting
following the outcomes of an engagement and consultation process.
Cabinet are asked to approve the schemes implementation and
authorise the Director of Neighbourhoods to make delegated
decisions informed by the findings of the consultation and
engagement process to enable the finalisation of the detailed
design and to place orders for works and services to enable
delivery by the funder’s deadline of March 2023.
OPTION 2: That the findings of the public consultation are reported to a future meeting of the cabinet to inform a final decision on the detailed design of those elements of the project to be implemented by the council. All other matters to be delegated to the Director of Neighbourhoods as above so as to advance the project prior to this decision.
