Greetham Community Centre Refurbishment – Submission for S106 funding

Decision Maker: Strategic Director for Places

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Greetham Community Centre have requested S106 funding to support improvements to the community centre to improve existing facilities to ensure that the facilities are inclusive and meet the needs of the local community into the future. They have identified necessary improvements to the Community Centre facilities so that they can expand the activities for the community.

Improvements will be funded in part from their own resources and from the Parish Council and from grant funding applications. The total cost of the works is just under £50,000. The Community Centre has already secured a time limited grant for £20,182 which leaves a shortfall of £27,707.

RCC funding would be from remaining S106 funds currently held by the Council from development which has taken place within the parish and which was specifically sought for sport, recreation and leisure facilities, specifically indoor facilities.

The proposed changes and a cost breakdown for the works are set out in detail in the attached appendix. In summary these include :

• improvements to Meeting/Recreational Accommodation
• Improved and Additional Storage Facilities
• External Works to expand outdoor activies/facilities

Decision:

To support the project with the sum of £27,707 from S106 contributions.

Following the decision £ £27,707 will remain allocated to this project for an 18 month period. The transfer of funds will be subject to the receipt of a project plan and confirmed start date for the works.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - To support the project with the sum of £27,707 from S106 contributions.

Option 2 - To not support funding for this project.

There is funding available from unspent S106 agreements and no other project coming forward to take advantage of this at present. There is a risk that unspent S106 monies would need to be re-paid to developers in due course.
