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.

RESOLVED THAT:

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.
