Purpose

To accept the grant funding from DCMS via Lawn
Tennis Association and approve the necessary budgets.

Decision

1)   
That the grant award from the LTA of £101,000
to refurbish the tennis courts at Ayscoughfee be accepted;
 
2)   
That the grant conditions attached to the award be
accepted;
 
3)   
That it be noted that the s151 Officer has
previously already approved the necessary match funding of
£20,000 using their delegated powers;
 
4)   
That the scheme be added to the Council’s
Capital Programme, given that the s151 Officer has confirmed that
in doing so there will be no ‘material impact on the
Council’s budget’; and
 
5)   
That the necessary Exemption to Contract Procedure
Rules be approved, as delivery of the works will be undertaken by a
contractor directly appointed by the LTA.
