Matter for Decision

The
Officer’s report sought investment into local facilities using S106 funding
from the Indoor Sports, Outdoor Sports, Swimming Pool and Community Facilities
contribution types. It recommended allocating £353,880 of S106 funds to 15
proposals utilising remaining sums of generic S106 contributions, or
combinations of both generic and site-specific S106 funds in some instances.

 

This round
of funding for projects included several projects that were not quite ready or
developed enough for submission in the previous S106 funding rounds.

 

Decision
of Executive Councillor for Community Safety, Homelessness and Wellbeing

types, subject to business case approval and community use agreements (where
appropriate) and possible part-funding by specific S106 contributions (where

Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee received a report from the Community, Sport
& Recreation Manager.

 

Members sought and received update reports on Cherry Hinton
and Abbey Pool projects.

 

Councillor Nestor sought clarification about Nun’s Way
Pavilion, specifically what could be done to make women and girls safe in
parks. The Community, Sport & Recreation Manager said officers were looking
at how to utilise research and feedback from the recent work with Women in
Sport carried out across three parks in the City including Nuns Way and the
work would inform how to target improvements in open spaces and facilities.

 

The Committee unanimously resolved to endorse the
recommendations.

 

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendations.

 

Conflicts
of Interest Declared by the Executive Councillor (and any Dispensations
Granted)

No
conflicts of interest were declared by the Executive Councillor.
