Content

RESOLVED - That:
Approval for the allocation of resources secured through Section
106 agreement and subsequent award of contract to winning tenderer
for the safety resurfacing works in Waterhead Park play area.

Reasons for the decision

Option 1 - Allocate the S106 resources in
accordance with the terms of the S106 obligations and award
resurfacing contract to the winning tenderer. This will allow
equipment that has been removed to be re-installed and ensure
existing equipment does not need to be removed.
Option 2 - Leave the existing safety surface without the S106
investment and continue to monitor the existing safety surfacing
and remove other equipment when the other existing safety surfacing
fails, alternative funds would need to be found to resurface the
play area. This would mean that the obligations with the S106 would
not be met and that the contributions may need to be returned to
the developer.
