To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport seeking agreement to procure a service provider of a Sustainable Distribution Centre (SDC) for the City of Southampton and its surrounding districts. The SDC will offer a mixture of short term and long term storage and seek to reduce the number of part load deliveries into and around the City, thus seeking to reduce the number of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) using the road network. This project will be funded through the Local Sustainable Transport Fund for a finite period with no ongoing commitment requirement from Southampton City Council.
