Tonbridge Racecourse Sportsground - Improvement Plan |
The joint report of the Chief Leisure Officer and Cabinet Members for Leisure, Youth and Arts and Finance presented for consideration planned improvements for Tonbridge Racecourse Sportsground to be progressed on a phased basis subject to available funding. It was noted that of the five priority items proposed to be progressed in the current financial year, items 1 and 2 (play area and crazy golf) were fully funded from provision within the Capital Renewals Fund. Items 3, 4 and 5 (teenage facilities, centre path and picnic area) could be met from a developer financial contribution but required the creation of a new capital scheme for which an evaluation matrix was set out at Annex 2 to the report. Members were advised that consideration of the implementation of Phase 2 of the project would take place when funding had been secured. RECOMMENDED: That (1) the proposed phased improvements at Tonbridge Racecourse Sportsground, as detailed in the report, be approved; (2) Phase 1 of the improvements be progressed in the current financial year subject to further consultation with key stakeholders; (3) the Capital Plan Renewals programme be reprofiled as detailed in paragraph 1.3.1 of the report; (4) the action taken to bring forward a new Capital Plan scheme for the teen facilities, centre path and picnic area be confirmed and the Council be recommended to approve a supplementary estimate for the reasons outlined in the report; and (5) Phase 2 of the improvements be progressed when funding is secured. *Referred to Cabinet |
