To agree the funding agreement with the
Gloucestershire Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC)
whereby a grant payment of £22,000 will be paid to the
Council to support the construction of the Petersfield Community
and Sports Hub.

Reasons for the decision

The council had successfully secured funding
from the OPCC to carry out two community-based projects (the values
of this are outlined in the finance section of this decision). The
council was unable to find a suitable delivery partner for one of
the projects, whilst the other project was successfully delivered
but not fully spent. In total £22k was left remaining.
Following a discussion with the OPCC, it has been agreed that the
£22k can be re-directed to supporting the Petersfield
Community and Sports Hub in recognition of the contribution that
the building will make to reducing crime and disorder risks in the
local community.
