Decision details

Cabinet considered the Section 106 (S106) open space contributions to be used to fund improvements to parks and open spaces and for capital schemes. S106 developer contribution funds have been received by the Council for improvements within certain parks and open spaces. The funds were required to be spent within a five-year period. When completed, the works would improve the Borough’s open space and play areas and would align with the priorities highlighted in the Council’s ‘Play Strategy’ (2017-2025).

RESOLVED that the parks and open spaces improvement schemes for Jubilee Park, Eastwood; Dovecote Lane Recreation Ground Beeston; Hetley Pearson Recreation Ground, Beeston; and Cator Lane Recreation Ground, Chilwell, be added to the Capital Programme for 2025/26 at a combined cost of £62,000 to be funded by an allocation from the respective Section 106 contributions.

Reason

The decision supports the priorities for environment to continue to invest in our parks and open spaces and with protecting the environment for the future.
