Decision:

To enter into a Funding Agreement with GFirst LEP in the sum of £4.3m for the purpose of redeveloping Gloucester Railway Station in accordance with the Cabinet Report considered on 6th February 2019.

 

 

Reasons for the decision:

 

To secure the funds required to implement the redevelopment of Gloucester Railway Station.

 

Alternative options considered:

 

The LEP examined the option of contracting directly with Great Western Railway but were more confident engaging the City Council given its history of delivering other major LEP funded capital schemes such as the Transport Hub. Without the Council taking this role, the funds may not have been made available.
