Background Information: This report has been planned as part of the arrangements for the 2016/17 S106 priority-setting round (for generic S106 contributions), which were agreed in October 2016. The Executive Councillor is responsible for the overall assignment of S106 contributions between devolved and strategic funds. This includes powers to vary these assignments to ensure that S106 contributions for S106 contributions for public art, public realm, informal open spaces and play provision for children and teenagers can be used within expiry dates. The October 2016 S106 report highlighted public art and informal open space contributions from Castle ward which are due to expire between summer 2019 and spring 2020. An update of the availability of S106 funding, along with a commentary, will be included in the March 2017 report.
