Position up to April 2024

Work has now progressed across all key workstreams to move the project forward following formal approval during summer 23. Liaison with Bradford Council has continued, with feedback following the submission of the initial Planning pre-application on 28th June. This liaison has enabled further work on the programme and design to be scheduled and undertaken. Confirmation of stakeholder involvement prior to detailed design has been sought, and formal Governance arrangements including the Project Board have been re-established. The Commercial workstream has also been re-established and is considering formal advice on commercial options to enable the most viable option offering best value for money to be determined. A detailed Programme highlighting milestones, and critical path activity has being finalised, alongside an updated Risk Register, all of which are presented at monthly Project Board meetings to give assurance and oversight.
