Confirmation of spend remaining on land purchase for Ashton Vale Temple Meads metrobus project

From: Public Safety & Protection Sub-Committee - Tuesday, 12th August, 2025 10.00 am - August 12, 2025

A Cabinet decision approved construction of the Ashton Vale Temple Meads (AVTM) metrobus scheme, including the purchase of land via a Compulsory Purchase Order, in October 2014. This was followed by an Officer Executive Decision in March 2020 that confirmed the total land purchase cost would be no more than £1,381,522. Since this time, £660,191 has been spent with a further £395,562 forecast to be spent in the remainder of the current financial year (a total of £1,055,753). Although this amount is less than that for which approval remains extant, it was thought prudent to refresh an approval given more than five years ago.
