Report of the Director of Services

Presented by the Community Services Portfolio Holder

The Community Services Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members and thanked the Members of the working party for enabling good work to be carried out.

She highlighted the progress that had been made on the Owen Street changing pavilion for Coalville Town Football Club advising that there would be an official opening at a later date and that the Thringstone Bowls Club toilet provision had been successful in securing external funds from Biffa and that she was happy to support the slight increase in the planned contribution to help deliver that project.

Councillor A V Smith added that she had attended the Christmas Lights Switch On in Coalville which had been an excellent event but added that there were some hiccups with the lights. However a tender exercise had been carried out for a new contractor and the authority would see the lights improving further. She noted that there were lots of new projects being considered by the working party and looked forward to seeing how they progressed.

It was moved by Councillor A V Smith, seconded by Councillor T J Pendleton and

RESOLVED THAT:

The recommendations made by the Coalville Special Expenses Working Party as detailed within the minutes be noted and the recommendation as summarised at 3.0 of the report be approved.

Reason for decision: To progress Coalville Special Expenses projects and programmes.
