Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report on the proposed enhancement of play facilities at Charford Recreation Ground, such improvements to be funded by way of Section 106 monies arising from the development of land at Villiers Road, Charford. It was reported that the monies would be the subject of “claw back” by the Developer if they were not utilised by 11th April 2010. 

It was noted that it was intended to provide an improved and enhanced skate park facility which would meet the needs of local children and young people and address any potential health and safety concerns arising from informal adaptation of the facility by users of the Recreation Ground.

RECOMMENDED:

(a)       that the scheme to enhance play facilities at Charford Recreation Ground, by way of improvement to the existing skate park, be included in the Capital Programme for 2010/2011 and that the scheme be funded from available Section 106 monies; and

(b)       that the work be undertaken prior to the “claw back” point being reached.
