Decision details

Consideration was given to the report of the Deputy Chief Executive, as contained on pages 57 to 64 of the Book of Reports, which sought approval for a scheme to refurbish Burscough Sports.

Following a discussion, the Portfolio Holder for Leisure gave an undertaking to give first refusal, to Banks Leisure Centre management company, of any non-leased equipment being dispensed of during the refurbishment.

RESOLVED:

A.     That the scheme to refurbish Burscough Sports be approved with a capital expenditure budget of £3.188m funded through the sources set out in paragraph 5.2 of the report.

B.     That funding be set aside in the Medium Term Financial Strategy to meet the potential short term impact on revenue income that will result from the scheme.

C.     That the Deputy Chief Executive be given delegated authority to take all necessary steps and actions and to procure and enter such contracts that are required to deliver the scheme.
