Hull to Scarborough bridge remodelling

John Fareham and John Abbott report that work is soon to begin on the remodelling of the bridge over the Hull to Scarborough rail line.

The legal documentation to purchase the additional land needed for the works has been signed and has been exchanged with the vendor – not all the land to be used originally belonged to the Council – and the contractors who have been selected to do the job will then be eager to get started. A decision record to formalise the deal in Council procedural terms can be signed as soon as the text has been slightly amended.  The officers have undertaken to ensure local residents on both sides of the bridge are kept aware of anything that may affect them but we too will ensure that such information is passed on to residents on this side of the bridge.
