Agenda item

To receive the report of the Maintenance & Environmental Services Officer.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Maintenance & Environmental Services Officer concerning a new electronic Sports Pitch Booking System for the Council.

Members recognised that the current system was not intuitive and cost a considerable amount in time for sports clubs and Council staff. The systems presented provided what was required and were used by other local Councils who were satisfied with their performance.

There was, however, no agreed budget for this project within the current fiscal year and the committee were made aware that other IT functions of the Council were being evaluated to offer a more holistic approach to administration, rather than a piecemeal one.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the Council agrees that a new system is required in principle and,

3.      That, officers continue to explore a more holistic approach to an IT solution to be integrated in the next year.
