Agenda item

To receive the confidential report of the Town Clerk/C.E.O.

The Committee received the confidential written report of the Town Clerk/C.E.O

Members were advised that Courtside CIC expected to hear back in March 2023 regarding their recent Grant application from the Community Ownership Fund. Once the decision was known the council could consider the implementation of the scheme and whether a decision on a new works depot would have an impact.

The Committee also considered the option to use some of the £75,000 Section 106 monies held for Burwell Hall towards the cost of installing new lockers and refurbishment of the existing changing rooms. All members agreed to this proceeding further.

Members were pleased to hear an update on the proposal for improvements to the existing West Witney Sports Ground building and facilities. All members agreed the sooner this could be actioned the better and it was pleasing to hear that the Sports & Social Club would be involved in the process.

The Committee were surprised at the costs supplied to provide a new depot to host the Council’s Grounds Maintenance service. The Town Clerk confirmed that once the decision is known in respect of the Grant Application for The Leys Masterplan then options can be explored further.

Resolved:

1.      That, the written report is noted.

2.      That, the S106 funding set aside for the Burwell Hall/Recreation Ground be used towards the cost of installing new lockers and refurbishment of the existing changing rooms.
