NON EXEMPT ITEMS Minute Number Action to be Taken by a) Paul Wright/ Fiona Harbord 13 PRESENTATION ON THE PARK STREET BRIDGE STRENGTHENING SCHEME Graham Hall, Assistant City Manager, Streetscene, Paul Wright, Network Rail, Paul Stephenson, Balfour Beatty, and Will Spencer, ARUP attended the Commission to deliver a presentation informing of how the Park Street Bridge strengthening works would take place, and their impact. The Commission was told of: i. Why and how the works were commissioned ii. Work done to date iii. The technical aspects of the works iv. Issues that would restrict the window for delivery of the works, such as Hull Fair and Christmas v. The timeline for the completion of the project vi. Road closures that would take place from early January to early March 2017 vii. Weekend work which would be restricted to one weekend in six. viii. Restrictions that would result from the need to move trains The Commission discussed: i. The lack of agreement needed to allow Network Rail access. ii. Whether the bridge was high enough to allow electrified trains to pass under; that it was believed to be high enough; and, that reassurance was needed as it seemed pointless strengthening a bridge that might need major works in the coming years to make it Page 7 of 92 P a g e 3 higher. iii. Accessibility issues and that the Accessibility Officer was being consulted; that pavements would be kept open as much as possible; and whether the possibility of bad weather had been considered when drawing up the works timeline. iv. Concerns about the increased traffic post-works from Anlaby Road; whether HGVs would have the space to turn onto and off Park Street; and, whether the traffic signals at the junction would change to accommodate increased traffic from Park Street. v. Whether closures were being co-ordinated with the City of Culture team.

The Commission was informed that: i. The East Riding of Yorkshire and other agencies were working towards the target of purchasing the land. ii. Until the land was purchased the full Business Case and additional detail would not be produced. Page 8 of 92 P a g e 4 The Commission discussed: i. Where the 1750 residents detailed in the report lived; that a model had been drawn up that estimated the figure as being between 1,000 and 2,000; that those residents would live between the East Carr and North Carr plains, with benefits for the arable land in East Yorkshire; and, that the water would be prevented from flowing down Holderness Drain. ii. Concerns about part 6 of the report and the possibility of the Council losing money on the transaction in the long-term; that a balance within the Issues for Consideration was needed, such as against the costs of the flooding of 2007; that, as at point 6.6, a condition should be put on the land that if it had to be re-sold it should only be for a worthwhile use; and, that the risk was as a result of the unknown feasibility work and how much would be recouped should the land need to be resold. iii. That, if the feasibility study went well, the works would commence in 2018; that the Environment Agency would provide funding for the infrastructure of the scheme; and, that there was the potential to sublease for the managing of the habitat. iv. The cost of the land being £2.4m, with the opportunity to scale back the contribution should the modelling show that the risk of flooding was being reduced for fewer than 1,750 properties; that another organisation had offered a higher amount of money for the land so that it could be land-banked, but that the Director of Regeneration had persuaded the seller to sell to HCC.
