This application includes two supplementary reports.

 

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Councillor Amelia Rout spoke on this item.

 

There had been ongoing issues with anti-social behaviour in this area, particularly around the tyre/basket swing.  Members also felt that the addition of six benches in this area would further exacerbate the problem and discussed options.

 

The developer had previously stated that if six benches were not required, any money would be used to fund a replacement for the swing.  Members agreed that replacing the tyre/basket swing with equipment that was only suitable for smaller children.

 

Councillor Dave Jones proposed that two swings only be placed in this area and that the offer to replace the swing with something more sensible, by the developer be taken up.  The Chair, Councillor Fear seconded the proposal.

 

Resolved:    That only two benches are now required (not the six previously

requested) and that any money saved be put towards funding the replacement of the tyre/basket swing with equipment that is only suitable for smaller children.
