FDC was granted £1.5m for projects and FDC has decided to spilt the money to be spent mostly on play parks and open spaces to each of the 4 towns (£250k each) and villages (£500k combined) it is for decision at Cabinet on Monday 23rd March as to where and how this money will be spent. The report for Fenland as a whole has to be published no later than Friday 13th March. Therefore the proposals need to be completed by next Tuesday, Officers (and the Portfolio Holder) need the prioritisation responses from Members by this Thursday at the latest.
Where the money is spent is not a WTC decision we only offer proposals. It is for cabinet to recommend the proposals to full district council.
Whittlesey Councillors are being asked to submit requests (very tight time), so far
There has been requests
1/ Play Area @ Church Street/St Andrews
2/ Tennis Court Re-surfacing @ The Manor.
3/ Storage and Hub Unit for Platinum Wood/Yarwells.
There may be others that I am at this point unaware of….
To give an idea of how much play equipment costs, see below, however I am told FDC use multiple suppliers, I dare say the prices are similar.
