Approval and Release of Section 106 Public Open Space Funds - South Molton

Decision Maker: Strategy and Resources Committee, Council

Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Decisions:

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 a project in South Molton.

 

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

 

·       The project would enhance the footpaths around the recreation ground and community woodlands. 

·       South Molton Town Council was the owner of the vast amount of open space in South Molton.

·       The existing footpath was relatively narrow and in poor condition which created difficulty for members of the community such as push chair and wheelchair users to use safely.

·       The funding details were contained in paragraph 5.1 of the report.

 

Councillor Worden declared a personal interest as a member of South Molton Town Council.  He advised that the footpath area became wet and the footpath had not been previously constructed to a sufficient standard for access for push chair and wheelchair users.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)

That £17,648.61 be awarded to South Molton Town Council towards the enhancement of the footpaths at the Recreation Ground and Community Woodland;

 

RECOMMENDED:

 

(b)

That Council be recommended to vary the capital programme by £17,648.61 and that funds be released, subject to a Funding Agreement upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed by the Senior Solicitor, for external projects.
