The decision has been taken for Kirklees Council to sign this agreement with WYCA. This agreement provides the framework under which Kirklees Council is able to reclaim its accrued costs associated with the development of the West Yorkshire Mass Transit scheme.
Detailed tasks for which funding can be reclaimed will be agreed through Schedules agreed with WYCA. These will be agreed in advance of such works commencing.
No other options were considered by officers, as this agreement has been proposed by WYCA.
As the agreement is to be signed by all West Yorkshire Districts, this will take affect from the time at which the last District signs the agreement. This is anticipated to be during November 2023.
