Play facilities in the Orchard

At the meeting held on the 3rd March 2011, after a Notice of Motion to rescind the decision made on the 3rd February 2011 not to proceed with the project was received, the Council reconsidered that decision, and taking into account the quantified costs, the Council resolved by 8 to 1 to proceed with this project. All funding is in place; the required reports have been commissioned; and the equipment has been ordered. Completion date is expected to be mid to late May 2011, subject to normal slippage.
