To inform the Board of proposed changes relative to the originally approved scheme. 2. To request a decision from the board to select one of 2 proposed options. Summary Background In Dec 2017 the board approved £1.497m of Local Growth funds to support an improvement project at Cheltenham Spa Railway Station. To date we have been unable to finalise a funding agreement with GWR due to challenges with agreeing certain terms (in relation to the unique way that assets are ‘owned’ under the franchise arrangements and a lack of sufficient detail until recently on the detail of the scheme and associated costs). The scheme in total was presented as 4 main elements funded from a number of sources - improvements to the station forecourt to improve pedestrian safety and vehicle movements and enhance the public realm an increase of at least 70 car parking spaces by the installation of a single decked car-park DDA compliant lifts to both platforms to provide full accessibility to the station Enhanced provision for cyclist users of the station, including a minimum of 300 secure cycle storage spaces and a shared cycle/pedestrian access ramp from Landsdown Road into the station Page 1 of 3 Agenda Item 6 The enhanced cyclist user provision was to be funded from a funding award of £833k from the DfT Cycle Rail fund which GWR had bid for and won in order to enhance the total scheme.
