Consideration was given to the report which advised that the continuation of the legal mediation process was to be concluded by December 2021, and that the commissioning of an independent review was to be undertaken by an appropriately qualified technical organisation which is independent of the development and submission of the business cases for the floating bridge project. The report sought the Cabinet’s approval to provide a further report in early 2022 upon the completion of the independent review and the conclusion of the legal mediation process.

 

RESOLVED:

 

THAT due to the on-going legal case the Committee would not discuss the matter until the Gateway 5 Review and associated report had been completed for the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership.
