Issue - decisions

The Committee received a report from the Community, Sport & Recreation Manager.

The report outlined the council had devolved to area committees decision-making powers over the use of devolved S106 developer contributions, which include those for outdoor sports provision.

The South Area Committee allocated £100,000 of its devolved outdoor sports S106 contributions for improvements to Cherry Hinton Recreation Ground Pavilion in January 2014. A further £200,000 of devolved S106 outdoor sports contributions were allocated to the second phase of this project in December 2016. In both cases, the allocations were subject to approval of the project appraisal/business case. The overall value of the project is therefore £300,000. These amounts already feature of the ‘projects under development’ list of the council’s Capital Programme.

Following discussion, Members unanimously resolved to:

       i.          Approve the Cherry Hinton Recreation Ground project (involving a single storey side and front extension with internal alterations to existing Pavilion), as detailed in the attached appendices, which has been properly planned and is ready for implementation.

     ii.          Delegate to the Chief Executive to invite and evaluate tenders for the contract for the Cherry Hinton Recreation Ground Pavilion project.

   iii.          Delegate to the Chief Executive, following consultation with the Chair, Vice Chair and Opposition Spokes of the South Area Committee, to award a contract for the Cherry Hinton Recreation Ground Pavilion project to the tender(s) that are evaluated as the most economically advantageous to the Council.
