The Committee considered a report that sought approval for improvement works within the Council’s parks and open spaces.

The Committee were advised that a tender process would be undertaken to appoint a contractor to undertake the works needed. Once the contract had been awarded, the Chair asked for dates to be provided with regard to the lifespan of each tennis courts’ tarmacadam and when future repainting/recoating would be needed.

The Chair asked for details to be provided to Committee members with regard to who would be responsible for monitoring the tennis courts to ensure that they remained fit for purpose and how often they would be inspected.

The Committee requested that further information be provided to outline details of what money would be spent on the football pitches and what maintenance or improvements would be needed.
