Decision Maker: Executive Member for Culture, Delivery and Public Protection

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To spend £4,475 of S106 contributions to make improvements to Birch Hill Community Centre

Decision:

That approval is given for expenditure of £4,475 from S106 contributions on the Birch Hill Community Centre

Reasons for the decision:

To enable Birch Hill Community Association to purchase a video projector, a large video television screen and a mobile television stand to allow different groups to use the centre.

 

They would also like to buy amagnetic whiteboard screen for their committee room, to be used for presentations and act as a screen for any slide projections they have, which would allow them to hire out the room for more activities.

 

They would also like to buy a hearing loop for their committee room so that it can be used by people with hearing difficulties.

 

They would also like to purchase more chairs and tables to cater for the increase in the number of people using the centre.

 

Alternative options considered:

None. To not purchase any of the extra equipment would mean that it would be difficult for Birch Hill Community Association to be able to accommodate the extra demand created by the new housing in the area.
