Agenda item

To receive the report of the Head of Estates & Operations.

The Committee received the report and verbal update from the Head of Estates & Operations (HE&O) providing an update on the Skatepark refurbishment.

Members were pleased to hear that the contract had been awarded to Bendcrete Skateparks and that final consultation will now take place with skatepark users to consult on any final small amendments. Members heard from the HE&O that Bendcrete would be advertising this final consultation via school and notices at the park so that they can gain the feedback face to face, which they find is the most effective way.

A Member raised questions regarding the access to the refurbished skatepark for disabled users and what action was to be taken in relation to the promotion of safety equipment. The HE&O advised that provision was in place to ensure all user have access and that promotion of safety equipment would be encouraged but is not mandatory.

Resolved:

That, the report and verbal update be noted.
