I would like answers to the following questions about the South West Distributor Road (SWDR), specifically the section being constructed by Balfour Beatty, which commenced in early 2025

1. How many noise complaints have been received by the council relating to works on the SWDR? Specifically, the noise complaints received by the council relating to works carried out by Balfour Beatty and or its contractors on the entire site.
We have received 19 issues raised in total in relation to noise since commencement. These figures are based on concerns raised either directly to Wokingham Borough Council or Balfour Beatty, there is a possibility that some enquiries could be double counted.

2. How many complaints about dangerous road conditions have been made to the council by members of the public relating to the works on the SWDR? Specifically, damage / dirt / dangers reported by members of the public relating to the Works site entrances used by Balfour Beatty and its contractors.
We have received 8 issues raised in total. These figures are based on concerns raised either directly to Wokingham Borough Council or Balfour Beatty, there is a possibility that some enquiries could be double counted.

3. What is the total budget for the SWDR construction works? Specifically, the section of the South Western Distributor Road, that is currently being constructed by Balfour Beatty. I am specifically looking for the Expected Final Cost (EFC) of this project.
The Budget for the SWDR construction works being undertaken by Balfour Beatty was reported internally on 15th September 2025 as £58,149,034. The Expected Final Cost of this project has been provided to us by the Contractor in confidence and assessed by Wokingham Borough Council. At this time while the programme is still active, given this is not a fixed contract; we are not divulging exact figures to the public as the expected final cost is adjusted on a monthly basis. We are able to confirm that we are currently forecasting to be within budget.

4. I would like a copy of the decision notice from the Secretary of State that gives Wokingham council permission to close the footpaths, and the conditions attached to that Secretary of State notice.
See attached file.
