Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Highways and Transport
Outcome:
Is Key Decision?: No
Is Callable In?: No
Purpose:
Content: To enter into an Agreement under Section 6 Highways Act 1980 with National Highways to permit the Council to carry out the diversion of statutory services on National Highways Network to facilitate the Workington Gateway project. To allow Council Officers to prepare and enter into a Section 6 Agreement with National Highways to enable the diversion of statutory services, facilitating further works to enhance Ramsay Brow junction and maintaining the programme for the Workington Gateway project. A single Section 6 Agreement was initially envisaged with National Highways, covering all the work associated with the Workington Gateway project. However, National Highways are not willing to enter into such an agreement until they have approved designs following their ongoing review. As such, this approach is no longer feasible if we are to maintain the challenging work programme targeting completion in June 2026.
