Decision details

To award contract for the Refurbishment of the Gadebridge Park White Bridge

Decision Maker: Assistant Director - Neighbourhood Delivery

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The White Bridge (also known as the Cranstone Bridge) is a Grade II listed structure located at the entrance of the park.
The White Bridge has fallen into a state of disrepair over the last few years leading to the Council having a number of assessments carried out on the bridge which has identified some structural issues. This does not pose an immediate risk to the public but it is clear the Council need to act quickly to ensure the condition of the bridge does not worsen.
The Council have also invested elsewhere in the park over the last couple of years, installing a new play area and splash park which has led to an increase in foot fall. As part of the regeneration of the park, the White Bridge was identified as an area which needed investment to bring it up to standard.

Decision:

To award a contract to Tasiker Industrial Limited to carry out the refurbishment on the White Bridge located in Gadebridge Park, Hemel Hempstead.

Alternative options considered:

This project was pre-approved by the Council and now forms part of the Council's capital programme. The Council then carried out a tender process to identify the most suitable contractor to carry out the works.
