The Committee considered a report by the Project, Procurement and Open Space Officer (circulated previously) regarding the allocation of section 106 public open space funds towards one project in Kings Nympton.

The Project, Procurement and Open Space Officer highlighted the following:

·       The Council had recently provided section 106 public open space funds to Kings Nympton Parish Council to undertake improvement works at the playing field in Kings Nympton.  These works included improvements to access to the playing field by installing a hardstanding concrete footpath.

·       Kings Nympton Parish Council have in collaboration with the Friends of Kings Nympton school, the pre-school and Mother and Toddler Group to gather research on a range of play equipment that would benefit the community.  As part of this community consultation a zip wire had been identified as the preferred option.

·       The Parish Council had obtained quotes.  The financial details were detailed in paragraph 5.1 of the report.  The remaining amount would be funded by the Playing Field Committee and any overspend would be met by the Parish Council.
