Purpose:

To accept the tender provided by Groundwork Landscapes to allow construction of improvements in Royton Park.

Decision:

RESOLVED - That: the tender provided by Groundwork Landscapes to carry out Improvements to play facilities in Royton Park be approved.

Reasons for the decision:

Option 1 - Accept tender and award contract to Groundwork Landscapes to carry out Improvements to play facilities in Royton Park.
Option 2 - Do nothing. The play offer in Royton Park is already poor, doing nothing to improve it will only increase the decline of the open space. Some of the section 106 contributions are specifically for improving the play offer in Royton Park, and not carrying out the scheme would go against the obligations in the agreement.

Alternative options considered:

Option 2

Other reasons / organisations consulted
