The report of the Strategic Director of Place
Presented by the Business and Regeneration Portfolio Holder
Minutes:
The Leader of the Council presented the report.
Several Members expressed strong support for the scheme, which would be an integral element of regenerating Coalville and would bring in private sector investment.
It was moved by Councillor R Blunt, seconded by Councillor T Gillard, and
RESOLVED THAT:
- £150,000 of funding (comprising £106,207 from UKSPF and £43,793 from the Coalville Regeneration Capital Programme) towards the delivery of the next stage of preparatory works for the Stenson Square Gardens Project be approved.
2. The award of the contract to OVE ARUP limited to deliver the next stages of design and preparatory works for the Stenson Square Gardens Project up to a value of £150,000 be approved, and authority be delegated to the Strategic Director of Place to enter into all necessary legal agreements.
Reason for decision: The anticipated contract sum is £150,000. Under the Council’s constitutional arrangements, the award of contracts of this size (with spend falling within one year) require a decision of Cabinet.
