 Dear Mr Read  

GARRATT BUSINESS PARK  - National Grid Property, Riverside Road

Further to your letter of 23rd November to Graham Marsden concerning the barrier in Riverside Road, I am very pleased that you, on behalf of National Grid, have agreed to the digging up of Riverside Road to enable the barrier to be powered, according to certain conditions. I also understand that the Garratt Business Park management committee (lead by David Guyan) have agreed to pay £1000 for a related licence. 

Garratt Business Park have also been working with the Council on plans to improve the lighting on the estate which will in turn create a safer environment.  Formal permission will also be required from the National Grid for installing the ducting for the lighting.  Representatives from the Council  had a meeting with Mr Guyan and Mr Rawal last week and we are aware they are keen to complete these lighting works. They wonder if it would be possible to agree a licence with National Grid to include all permissions at the same time.  The works required, including the route of the duct are shown on the attached plan OS/CES/BH/598557/01, a copy of which is attached. Time is now of the essence with this work because the funding has to be drawn down before the end of March 2005, and the actual work has to be completed before it can be paid for. 

In view of the above, we shall be very grateful if you would confirm to both myself and Mr Guyan, by return, that you agree to these works subject to the conditions you mention in your letter to Mr Marsden, and the detail on the attached plan. We would also be pleased to have a meeting with you to discuss further details, as early as possible in the New Year, i.e. before 14th January. 

Yours sincerely,

Judith Roscoe
Deputy Economic Development Officer
