Purpose

To consider the acceptance of
funding offer from Sports England in the amount of
£350k.

Decision

The Chief Executive,
following consultation with the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny
Committee, Executive Member for Finance and Executive Member for
Leisure and Major Projects, resolved to:

Approve the
funding application to Sports England.

 

Reasons for the decision

The Council has been approached by Sports
England who have offered to fund its 2nd claim, that was circa
£350,000 from the Swimming Pool Funding Scheme, which was
previously rejected due to oversubscription of the
scheme. 

Alternative options considered

Alternative option: The Council may wish not
to accept the SPSF offered by Sport England due to tight timescales
associated with the project. This is not the preferred option.
