Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To commit £10,870.38 of S106 funds to improve the capacity of Easthampstead & Wildridings Community Centre

Decision:

For expenditure of £10,870 of S106 social and community facilities contributions to be spent on improvements to the Easthampstead & Wildridings Community Centre.

Reasons for the decision:

To install an area of play grass (artificial grass) in the garden area, replacing a soft play area, so that more groups can use the outside area.

The project will directly support three of the Councils strategic objectives:

 

·         People live active and healthy lifestyles

Numbers of adults and young people participating in leisure and sport has increased

·         A clean, green, growing and sustainable place

Appropriate infrastructure development is completed to support housing growth including; Warfield Link Road, Coral Reef Junction, Jennetts Park, town centre

·         Strong, safe, supportive and self-reliant communities

High levels of community cohesion are maintained

 

Alternative options considered:

No alternative options considered. To not make improvements to the outside area would mean that it is not able to accommodate the extra demand created by the housing developments in the area.
