Title:
Hammond’s Pond Improvements – Beck Crossings
Subject and Decision Taken

  • This project forms part of an extensive refurbishment and improvements package of the park infrastructure at Hammond’s Pond, Upperby, Carlisle.

  • Funding is in place from a Section 106 agreement between Story Homes (developers of the adjacent Ridings Estate) and the City Council, with a total of £205,960 available for the improvement of footpaths at Hammond’s Pond.

  • Structural engineers were engaged to produce designs for the replacement of three footbridges and the refurbishment of one culvert crossing over the Wire Mire Beck in Hammond’s Pond.

  • A bespoke flood risk activity permit to complete the works was sought from the Environment Agency in September 2021 and full consent received.

  • A tender package was distributed to contractors placed on the existing Carlisle City Council Green Spaces Framework Agreement on 23/11/2021 and responses requested by 12/01/2022.

Quotations were received from five contractors and, following tender assessment, the decision was made to award the contract to Evans Agricultural Contractors Ltd for a total value of £24,337.52.
Reason for Decision
To utilise available S106 funds to replace and upgrade four existing beck crossings at Hammond’s Pond which have reached the end of their serviceable life. The new crossings are designed and constructed to offer safe, vandal resistant access to park users between the Northern and Southern areas of the park.
Details of alternative options considered
No action. The S106 funds would be unused and therefore must be returned to the developer, with interest, by March 2022. The existing crossings would require closure and removal for safety reasons, funds to procure replacements would have to be sought from internal reserves.
