Northumberland Line Update New!

Decision maker:  Cabinet

Decision due:   11 Apr 2023

Lead officer:  Janice Rose

Notice of proposed decision first published: 05/04/2023

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
It is not reasonably practicable to wait until the May 2023 Cabinet to this take decision as it will leave very little contingency for any delays to the construction of the bridge over the level crossing at Newsham due to unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather, supply delivery issues, unfavourable ground conditions and land contamination. This presents a significant risk to the opening by the Line by the Government’s prescribed deadline of Summer 2024. On this basis, it is recommended that the construction of the bridge needs to start on site as soon as practically possible. In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, the Leader, Chair of the relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee and the Business Chair have agreed on these reasons for urgency and that the decision cannot reasonably be deferred.
