Agenda item

To receive and consider correspondence from Witney Town Bowls Club requesting new gates for the Bowls Club at The Leys.

The Committee received a request from Witney Bowls Club seeking replacement of the existing access gates to the facility at The Leys.

It was advised that officers had looked at the situation and it was not considered feasible to repair the existing gates. The cost of replacement would not exceed £2,000 and could be fitted by the grounds team. The Town Clerk advised this would need to be funded from the Rolling Capital Fund as the limited revenue budget would not cover this.  Clarification was given that the works would not be subject to a full tender process.

It was proposed and seconded that the replacement of the gates be supported with the matter being delegated to officers to conclude. On being put to the vote the proposition was carried.

The Town Clerk clarified that discussion on other issues at The Leys would be subject to a review in the future.

Resolved:

That, the replacement of the gates at a cost not exceeding £2,000 be supported with the matter being delegated to officers to conclude.
