IN COMMITTEE

It was RESOLVED that, in view of the confidential nature of the business to be transacted, the following matters be taken in the absence of press and public (Public (Admissions to Meetings) Act 1960) as the items contain exempt information as defined by the Local Government Act 1972 Sch. 12a Pt (3).

218/2013/14 / Refurbishment of Recreation Ground Pavilion / Members considered Tenders received for the refurbishment of the Recreation Ground Pavilion. It was noted that all Tenders received were higher then the estimated costs for the project.
The Clerk reported that the Council had already secured £92,000 towards the project and she was currently investigating other potential funding to enable this project to be delivered.
North Devon Council have confirmed that there is a further £25,848.12 available from the Brannocs Fibre S106 funding, which has been prioritised for the Braunton BMX track, but it is yet to be released to a specific project by North Devon Council Executive. The funds have to be spent by September 2014 otherwise they can be re-claimed by the developer. There is currently a planning application being considered for a BMX track but if planning permission is not obtained it is thought to be unlikely that the funds will be spent by September 2014.
RESOLVED: -
a. That the Council would allocate a further £24,322 from the Caen Street car park fund towards the refurbishment of the Recreation Ground Pavilion.
b. The Council to apply to Fullabrook CIC and Big Lottery Awards for All for funding towards the refurbishment of the Recreation Ground Pavilion.
c. The Council to request North Devon Council to release £25,848.12 of Brannocs Fibre S106 funding towards the refurbishment of the Recreation Ground pavilion, subject to the BMX track not being successful in gaining planning permission at the Velator Close site.
d. The Council supports the BMX Club being replenished their £25,848.12 S106 funding from the Pill Gardens development.
e. Appointment of Tender to be deferred until Full Council on 13 January 2014.
f. That the Clerk be instructed to write to North Devon Council and request information regarding future S106 money for Braunton including the amount it should receive and when the money will be released.
