Decision details
Grant Application for the Football Foundation Playzones Programme at Gallows Close, Scarborough
Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To authorise the grant application for the sum
of £176,500 from the Football Foundation to install a
Playzone facility at Gallows Close, Scarborough
Decision:
The application for a grant in the sum of
£176,250 from the Football Foundation to install a Playzone
facility at the Gallows Close Centre, Scarborough is
approved.
Reasons for the decision:
The Gallows Close Centre and partners
represent an excellent opportunity to access significant funding
from the Football Foundation Playzone scheme that will see a
transformational change in the quality of an NYC asset and the
ability for key user groups to access and benefit from the
facility.
Alternative options considered:
The option to not progress with the Playzone
application for funding support from the Football Foundation was
considered but rejected. This was because the opportunity to
significantly upgrade an asset owned by the Council would be lost,
along with the wider benefits of addressing access to safe a
high-quality play facility for the target groups referenced in
paragraph 3.1 of the report.
