Family Hubs Commissioning Intentions

From: Executive Cabinet - Wednesday, 23rd April, 2025 1.00 pm - April 23, 2025

Family Hubs Grant funding was due to cease on 31 March 2025, on 20 December 2024 it was announced that the funding for Tameside family hubs would continue, and the service received information on our maximum funding allocation.    All work undertaken since the start of the Family Hubs programme had considered the need to plan for a sustainable model going forward, this has been a priority for both managers and work stream leads.  Given that this funding was for 12 months, sustainability and forward planning will remain a priority.

TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER TO IMPLEMENT A WEIGHT RESTRICTION ON WEAK BRIDGES IN TAMESIDE

From: Executive Cabinet - Wednesday, 23rd April, 2025 1.00 pm - April 23, 2025

The following Network Rail bridges were assessed under the national Bridgeguard 3 programme conducted around 2006.  Network Rail requested that the structures be weight restricted as a result of the assessment calculations.  Temporary weight restrictions were imposed at the time, but these now need to be made permanent. ·       Stamford Road, Audenshaw (southern side) ·       Lodge Lane, Hyde ·       Cranbourne Road, Ashton ·       Spring Bank Lane, Stalybridge   Grove Road / Spring Bank Lane, Stalybridge (river bridge).  Following a recent assessment, the load carrying capacity of this council owned bridge has reduced.  Consequently, a new weight restriction was required for this bridge also.   As the bridges that were still known to be weak are not scheduled to be replaced or repaired, to full weight bearing capacity in the near future, they were in need of control.   It was intended to introduce a permanent legal order to limit the size of vehicles that can traverse the bridges and ensure the signage, in terms of design and illumination, was in line with current permanent legislation.    

Recommendations Approved
