REPORTS FOR CONSIDERATION |
|
Stepney Green Astro-turf Development PDF 97 KB Minutes: Stephen Murray (Head of Arts and Events) and Lisa Pottinger (Head of Sports & Physical Activity) introduced the report. They provided a summary of the proposals including providing a new 3G pitch surface and new floodlights. They also provided details of the funding arrangements including conditions which restrict future changes of use on the site.
Finally, officers explained the proposed development timeline and the impact on existing users.
Members welcomed the report but expressed concern that existing users needed to be kept fully informed and that proper assistance should be provided to help them find alternative venues whilst the pitches were out of use. They also requested that a timetable of works be presented at the next meeting.
Officers stated that they were in communication with existing users and they would ensure they were kept properly informed and supported.
RESOLVED
1. To note that under the terms and conditions of the grant, a 21 year clawback period is included on the astro-turf site, which prevents the Council from selling, transferring, leasing, licensing, mortgaging or changing the function of the astro-turf without prior written consent from the Football Foundation.
2. To approve the adoption of the capital estimate for the redevelopment of the Stepney Green Park site as outlined in Paragraph 1.1 of this report and grant delegated powers to officers to undertake any actions considered necessary to enhance and protect trust lands conduct as part of this development.
