Decision details

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report seeking authority from committee to release Section 106 contributions to Clitheroe Town Council to facilitate improvement works at Chester Avenue Playground.

The Section 106 monies were secured when reserved matters consent was approved to erect 42 dwellings on land off Milton Avenue, Clitheroe in the sum of £22,340.70 in respect of administration, upgrading and maintenance of the play area at the corner of Milton Avenue and Chester Avenue adjacent to the site and/or the play area in Clitheroe Castle Grounds.

The playground is owned by the Borough Council and leased to Clitheroe Town Council who is therefore responsible for the management and maintenance of it. The Town Council is proposing to improve the play area this summer with several pieces of equipment. A quote had been received and approved and an order placed.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

Authorise the payment of invoice(s) from Clitheroe Town Council following the completion of Chester Avenue play area improvements as set out in the report, within 28 working days of receipt, up to the amount of £19,550.66
