The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how much the private sector has contributed to the redevelopment of the Ravenscraig site in Lanarkshire in each year since the inception of the redevelopment project.
The answer
There are two private sector partners involved in the Ravenscraig Development Project
- Corus UK Ltd and Barratt (who recently replaced Wilson Bowden Developments following a takeover).
Since closure of the Ravenscraig steelworks in 1993 it is understood that Corus UK Ltd has spent in the region of £30 million in respect of demolition/site clearance and decontamination together with maintenance and insurances.
During 2007-08 Wilson Bowden Ltd contributed in the region of £20 million to the Phase 1 Development infrastructure contract. This is an estimated sum pending final contract certification.
Prior to this, Wilson Bowden had incurred £2.5 million pre-2007 in respect of planning, technical and design costs.
These figures are estimates provided by the two private sector partners involved in the project who have agreed that this information can be released. No annual expenditure figures are available.
