Issue - meetings

The District Executive gave consideration to a report which advised of the breakdown of expenditure to date and further potential budget commitments for 2016/17.

The District Executive gave consideration to the following requests:

·       Improvements to the skate park at Churchill Playing Fields;

·       Creation of a footpath from the Leisure Centre Car Park in to Uppermill Village centre;

·       Proposal to carry funding forward into 2017/18; and

·       Cost of room hire for District Partnership/District Executive meetings.

Members were informed of discussions regarding the creation of the footpath from the Leisure Centre car park into Uppermill Village centre and the feasibility of the work required.  Members were provided information on improvements to the skate park.  Discussions had been taking place with young people.  It was a much used and needed leisure facility.

Members also discussed the cost of room hire for future District Partnership / District Executive meetings at the Saddleworth Civic Hall which included a 25% discount.  Funding for the meetings would be allocated at the meeting in June for the cost of the room hire only.

RESOLVED that:

1.       The Saddleworth and Lees District Executive budget allocations to date be noted.

2.       The allocation of £2,500 capital expenditure be allocated for future infrastructure works.
