To receive the report of the Project Officer (to Follow)

The Town Clerk reminded members that additional funding for the project had been agreed at the Council meeting on 28 June.

It was explained that quotes had been sought for the safety surfacing under the existing play equipment (slide and horse) in the site. An issue had arisen regarding the stability of the surface under the slide and options were being considered.

In response to a question it was clarified that the works could be undertaken in mid-August but a decision may be required at that point regarding whether to retain the slide.

After discussion the committee agreed that a contractor should be appointed with a mid-August deadline and delegation be given to remove the slide if applicable.

Recommended:

That, a contract for the works be approved for completion in August with a decision on the inclusion of the slide being delegated to officers depending on whether surfacing works are possible.
