Councillor Gething

To consider options for play and refreshment facilities at Lammas recreation ground in Staines-upon-Thames.

Cabinet considered a report on play and refreshment facilities at Lammas recreation ground.

The report explained that a tender exercise was required to establish whether there were any companies who were interested in tendering for the provision of a recreation facility within the Lammas recreation ground.

Alternative options considered and rejected by the Cabinet:

·         Do nothing;

·         Refurbish kiosk and source contractor to run facility.

Resolved to:

1.     Authorise the Group Head Neighbourhood Services to go out to tender to design, install and run a new recreational facility and manage the refreshment kiosk within the Lammas recreation ground as detailed in the report;

2.     Authorise the Group Head Neighbourhood Services in conjunction with the portfolio holder to evaluate the submissions and report back to Cabinet on preferred options and suppliers

Reason for the decision:

The Lammas is a primary park and it is important to retain key recreational facilities within this park.
