Capital Plan Fast Track Evaluation - Tonbridge Farm Floodlit All Weather Pitch |
The joint report of the Chief Leisure Officer and the Cabinet Members for Leisure, Youth and Arts and Finance presented a 'fast track' Capital Plan evaluation relating to the refurbishment of the Tonbridge Farm Floodlit All Weather Pitch facility following recent flood damage. It was considered appropriate to bring forward the evaluation outside the usual timescales to ensure continuity of service provision and to minimise the loss of income. It was proposed that funding for the scheme be met from the Revenue Reserve for Capital schemes. RECOMMENDED: That due to the special circumstances caused by the flooding, the need to ensure continuity of service provision and to minimise loss of income (1) the proposed refurbishment of the floodlit all weather pitch at Tonbridge Farm Sportsground as outlined in the report be approved and the scheme be included in the Capital Plan List A; (2) funding for the refurbishment in the current financial year be met from the settlement of the Council's Insurers (£39,545) and the Council's Revenue Reserve for Capital schemes (£122,455); (3) an exemption from the tendering requirement under Contracts Procedure Rule 3.1 (d) be granted; and (4) investigations into the future protection of the facility from flooding continue and be reported as part of the Capital Plan review process later in the financial year. *Referred to Council |
