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 active travel links. At its July meeting Cabinet resolved
to review the outcomes of the engagement and consultation process.
Cabinet are asked to approve the findings of this process to enable
the finalisation of the detailed design and the placing of orders
for works and services to enable practical completion by the
funder’s deadline of March 2023.
Decision:
OPTION 1: Cabinet note the contents of the consultation feedback and approves the recommended modifications as detailed under para. 19 in list (a)-(t) in this report, and the resulting Revised Outline Design as shown in Appendix 7 and 8,with the exception that the relocation of the taxi rank and the design of the Rose Garden be explored further with key stakeholders prior to a final design decision being made, and further detailed design of planted areas and the incorporation of public art will be developed through ongoing community engagement.
All other matters required to progress and deliver all elements of the TCF funded Ryde Transport Hub projects be delegated to the Director of Neighbourhoods in accordance with this decision, the requirements of DfT and within available TCF resources.
These decisions are required to enable the design of the whole scheme to be finalised in accordance with these recommendations in so far as practical, legal and financial considerations allow.
