Minutes:

The Committee received and considered the confidential report of the Town Clerk & Chief Executive Officer concerning major and special projects.

 

Members noted the updates provided in the report including the potential development and loan required for improvements at West Witney Sports Ground. There was also an update on the latest position of the Corn Exchange refurbishment by the Deputy Town Clerk.

 

The Committee agreed that the redevelopment at West Witney was a key Council objective, and as well as seeking a contribution from the District Council, a loan would potentially have to be taken to deliver the project.

 

It was advised that a core drill survey would be required to confirm the integrity of the floor in the Main Hall of the Corn Exchange at a cost of £1,950.

 

Resolved:

 

1.      That, the confidential report be noted and,

2.      That, the Council agrees in principle to applying to the Public Works Loan Board for a loan to deliver the improvements at West Witney Sports Ground and,

3.      That, the additional cost of £1,950 for the core drill survey at the Corn Exchange be approved.
