Purpose

Reason for the decision: To award a contract
to Nova Sport to carry out safety surfacing work and removal of
defunct surfacing within the play area at Waterhead park. This will
be funded from S106 funding.

The need for this scheme arises from defunct or failing safety
surfaces meaning play equipment has had to be removed. The funds
would enable the play area to be brought back to full use and the
after-care cost of repairing and maintaining the play area site
would be covered by the revenue s106 contribution. The scheme also
includes some landscaping improvements carried out on site to
enhance the natural features around the play area.

RESOLVED - That:
Award the contract to Nova Sport following a compliant procurement
process. This will enable the Council to reopen the play area
fully, increasing the play value of the site and encouraging
children and young people to be active. The improvements to the
site will also encourage more residents especially families to use
the site and be more active.
