MOTIONS ON NOTICE In accordance with the Constitution, motions on notice must be signed by at least two Members and be about matters for which the Council has a responsibility or which affect the Melton Borough. The following motion was received from Councillor Allnatt, Leader (Seconded by Councillor Glancy, Deputy Leader). Support for funding the MMDR In October 2023, due to escalating costs, Leicestershire
County Council confirmed that while they remained committed to our Local Plan,
they were no longer in a position to fund the southern
section of the Melton Mowbray Distributor Road (MMDR South) at this time. Since
then, we have been working with the County Council and development partners to
explore alternative approaches to funding delivery. In March 2024, the government announced that Leicestershire
County Council had been awarded £238m from the Local Transport Fund, which will
be made available over a seven year period from
2025/26. Following this announcement, the Leader of Melton Borough Council
wrote to the Leader of the County Council seeking his support for allocating
some of this funding to enable the MMDR South to progress. The request has been
acknowledged, but further guidance on the amount and profile of the funding
allocations is still awaited, and on this basis the County Council have
confirmed it is not yet possible to prioritise any schemes. Accordingly, the following motion is proposed: Melton Borough Council thanks Leicestershire County
Council for their continued support to our Local Plan and reaffirms our
commitment to support them in securing the necessary funding to deliver the
required infrastructure in Melton. Furthermore, given the critical importance
of the MMDR South to our Local Plan, and the amount of work already undertaken,
Melton Borough Council reiterates its request that when the allocations are
confirmed, the County Council prioritises funding to enable this critical
infrastructure to be delivered. |
