Matter for Decision

The Officer’s report sought investment into local facilities using S106 funding from the Indoor Sports, Outdoor Sports, Swimming Pool and Community Facilities contribution types. It recommended allocating £353,880 of S106 funds to 15 proposals utilising remaining sums of generic S106 contributions, or combinations of both generic and site-specific S106 funds in some instances.

Members sought and received update reports on Cherry Hinton and Abbey Pool projects.

Councillor Nestor sought clarification about Nun’s Way Pavilion, specifically what could be done to make women and girls safe in parks.

The Committee unanimously resolved to endorse the recommendations.

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendations.
