The Combined Authority considered a report on proposals for the progression of, and funding for, West Yorkshire Combined Authority supported projects that had been considered at stages 1, 2 and 3 of the Combined Authority’s assurance process.

The Connectivity Infrastructure Plan (CIP) A629 (North) Ogden to Orange Street Roundabout scheme was considered for approval, and had come directly to the Combined Authority due to expediency of delivery. The project was seeking indicative approval of a contribution of £6.1m from the Combined Authority, and was expected to improve access to education, training and employment opportunities, as well as reducing standing traffic. Approval was sought for development costs of £1.18 million, and for the scheme to proceed from decision point 3 and for work to commence on the full business case.
