Agenda item

The Committee received the report of the Project Officer along with a verbal update from the Head of Operations and Estates (HE&O) regarding the progress of the Courtside CIC redevelopment at The Leys.

Members were advised that the works were now entering the final stages and that completion was scheduled for May 2026.

It was noted that the temporary closure of the skate park had been necessary to enable the current phase of works to be undertaken safely. Members were further advised that the tennis courts would be resurfaced to repair damage caused during the construction phase.

The Committee was informed that the Town Council’s financial contribution to the project would be released upon the achievement of key project milestones. It was proposed by Councillor J Aitman, seconded by Councillor J. Doughty, that it be delegated to Officers to make the payments when the agreed milestones were reached, the proposal was unanimously agreed.

Recommended:

1.     That, the report be noted; and

2.     That, authority be delegated to the Town Clerk, in conjunction with the HE&O, to release the Town Council’s funding contribution in line with the agreed project milestones.
