Purpose

To agree a reduction in commuted sum payment payable by Guildford Borough Council to Surrey County Council of £347,291.29.

Decision

Enter into the Deed of Variation relating to the Section 38 for Ash Road Bridge (now known as Chester Bridge).

Reasons for the decision

The Deed of Variation will enable the adoption of Chester Bridge by Surrey County Council.

Alternative options considered

OPTION 2: The Council could decide not to enter into the Deed of Variation to the Section 38. However, this will mean that Chester Bridge will remain unadopted and responsibility for its maintenance will continue with Guildford Borough Council.
