AFC Portchester - Funding Request towards 3G pitch

From: Executive - Monday, 1st December, 2025 6.00 pm - December 01, 2025

The report outlines AFC Portchester’s proposal to upgrade its grass stadium pitch to a modern, all weather third generation (3G) surface.  To support the successful delivery of the project, the Club is seeking financial assistance from the Council to address a funding shortfall.   AFC Portchester Football Club plays an important role in the Portchester Community, serving as a hub for sport, education and social inclusion.   The Club has long aspired to improve the facilities at Wicor Recreation Ground and in October 2024, secured planning permission to install a 3G pitch at its current stadium site, replacing the existing grass pitch.   The proposed development will enhance community engagement and enable the Club to expand its inclusive football programmes, including disability football, walking football for over-50s, and increased opportunities for female participation.   The Club has been working in close partnership with the Hampshire Football Association (FA) and the Football Foundation, successfully securing 70% of the funding required for the proposed facility, which is estimated to cost £1,100,000.   This results in a funding shortfall of £330,000.  To help bridge the gap, the Club will contribute £75,000 from its own resources and has secured a £150,000 grant from the Premier League Stadium Fund.  To complete the funding package, the Club is requesting a £105,000 grant from the Council.      

Recommendations Approved

Town Centre Public Spaces Protection Order

From: Executive - Monday, 1st December, 2025 6.00 pm - December 01, 2025

To review and extend the Public Spaces Protection Order under section 59 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 following the statutory consultation, which controls begging, drug taking and consumption of alcohol in the town centre.   The current PSPO requires review as the statutory three-year period is due to expire on 24 December 2025.  Fareham Town Centre has reduced begging, street drinking and the taking of drugs, however this Order enables enforcement action to be taken when incidents are having a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those who live, work in and visit Fareham.

Recommendations Approved

Fareham Housing - First steps towards redevelopment of Melvin Jones House and St Mary's Road Flats, Stubbington

From: Executive - Monday, 1st December, 2025 6.00 pm - December 01, 2025

Executive approval is sought to progress the initial phase of their Fareham Housing regeneration project, including the funding required.   In November 2024, the Executive approved the inclusion of Melvin Jones House and St Mary’s Road Flats in the Fareham Housing Regeneration Strategy, supporting the in-principle redevelopment of the site as an affordable housing scheme.    Members are now asked to note the initial steps in delivering the regeneration scheme, specifically the demolition of the buildings, site clearance, and preparation works, once all residents are successfully rehoused.

Recommendations Approved

Community Service Level Agreements

From: Executive - Monday, 1st December, 2025 6.00 pm - December 01, 2025

To review the existing Community Service Level Agreements (SLAs) between Fareham Borough Council and the three current providers of community services, namely Citizens Advice Fareham, Community First and Fareham Shopmobility.   To propose continuation of the SLAs for a further 3 years with an option to extend these terms for a further 2 years.   Fareham Borough Council provides free, impartial and independent advice, information and guidance to Fareham’s residents and communities:   ·         Citizens Advice Fareham provides free, impartial and independent advice, information and guidance to Fareham’s residents in need.   ·         Community First is funded to provide support to Fareham’s charitable community organisations around securing and retaining volunteers, in addition to delivering the Community Showcase, a promotion and networking event for the voluntary sector.   ·         Fareham Shopmobility (managed by Community First) provides mobility scooters, electric and manual wheelchairs to people with limited mobility living within or visiting the Borough.   The report reviews the work carried out by each of these services and proposes that the Council enters into three new 3-year Service Level Agreements to secure their continuation.

Recommendations Approved

General Fund Revenue Monitoring 2024/25

From: Executive - Monday, 4th November, 2024 6.00 pm - November 04, 2024

The report provides comparative information on the Council’s revenue expenditure for the period for the first half of the financial year.  Members are invited to consider the financial performance and any corrective action that may be deemed appropriate.   The report provides summary information on the overall spending position against the revenue budgets in the current year, as set out in the following tables:-   General Fund Budget 2024/25 Budget to 30 Sept 24 Actual to 30 Sept 24 Variation   £000s £000s £000s £000s Service Budgets 16,096 1,532 904 -628 Non-Service Budgets -2,803 -33 -33 0 Net Budgets 13,293 1,499 871 -628   Revenue spending plans are currently showing a net underspend for the first half of the financial year. Any underspending achieved by the end of the year will reduce the need to call on the Council’s reserves for 2024/25 which was originally expected to be in the region of £404,200 when the base budget was agreed.   There are a number of areas where spend is in excess of the budget and some areas are likely to continue to be overspent through to the end of the financial year.  However, current forecasts against the base budget are predicting that the half-way position overall will continue to the end of the year.   It therefore remains appropriate to continue to monitor financial performance closely over the remainder of the financial year to ensure that any slippage does not change this position or adversely affect the services provided to residents and customers.  Commentary on the most significant variations is set out in the briefing paper accompanying the report.
