The Committee is asked to make a decision on the reflections water feature.

The Committee resolved to agree to allow a local business sponsor to carry out repairs and maintenance at no cost to the Council for a minimum of three years; and

Delegate authority to the Group Head of Corporate Governance to agree the terms and enter necessary documentation

The Committee considered a report that sought agreement of one of the options outlined in the report in respect of the Reflections Water Feature that forms part of the Staines War Memorial.

Concerns were raised about the potential flooding of the underground pump room but they were advised that the proposed business sponsor was aware of this and had agreed to deal with any flooding issues in the future.

The Committee were advised that the Council would continue to retain the liability for the water feature and would ensure that level of safety would be maintained to the current level.

The Committee agreed that Option 2 within the report was the preferred option and would mean that the water feature would be repaired and maintained by the sponsor for a minimum period of 3 years after which a 6 months break clause would be in operation and would be at no cost to the Council.
