    Decision:

    RESOLVED:

     

    1.    That Cabinet approves capital funding to renew 15 utility blocks and undertake associated drainage and civil works at the Kalima GRT Camp, Woking. The capital funding required to develop the new facilities is commercially sensitive at this time and is set out in the Part 2 report.

     

    2.    That Cabinet approves procurement of appropriate supply chain partners to deliver the design, build and fit out of the new structures in accordance with the Council’s Procurement and Contract Standing Orders.

     

    3.    That Cabinet notes that, regarding the procurement of supply chain partners, the Executive Director for Environment, Infrastructure and Growth and the Director of Land and Property are authorised to award such contracts, up to +/-10% of the budgetary tolerance level and any other legal documentation required to facilitate the approvals within this report.

     

    4.    That Cabinet  authorises Legal Services to seal any awarded contracts where required.

    Reasons for Decisions:

     

    The decisions recommended in this report will contribute to enabling the Council to:

    • Provide much-needed, safe and suitable utility blocks for the circa one hundred adults and children who are tenants and residents on site.

     

    • Make an essential contribution towards the Council’s strategic objective to tackle health inequality, in line with the 2030 Community Vision to ensure no-one is left behind.

     

    • Support the partnership between the Council and District and Borough Councils to improve and provide accommodation and facilities for the permanent GRT community.

     

    • Under the Race Relations Act 2000 and The Equality Act 2010, the GRT community is entitled to the same services as those in the housed community, including the right to occupy premises that are fit for use. This includes accessible and suitable utility blocks.

    Decision:

    RESOLVED:

     

    1.    That Cabinet agrees to fund project CF259 for the full amount requested of £606,443 comprised of:

    ·            £606,443 of capital funding towards the development of the new building, outside area and bicycle storage to be paid in staged payments, on evidence of spend

    ·            Including 5% to be held by SCC until final evidence is provided of income and expenditure, evaluation and completion (such as building control sign-off).

     

    Reasons for Decisions:

     

    This application has been the subject of a rigorous assessment process by officers, as set out in the body of this report. Officers consider the project to meet the aims and published criteria of the fund and to satisfy the requirements to award funding.

     

    The project aims to turn an existing end-of-life scout hut, currently not fit for purpose, into a modern and accessible community hub adjacent to an identified SCC Key Neighbourhood. Existing nearby community buildings are at capacity during the day so the new hub would provide much-needed extra capacity for community groups.

     

    (The decisions on this item can be called-in by the Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee)

    Decision:

    RESOLVED:

     

    1.      That Cabinet agree to fund project CF235 the full amount requested of £1,000,000 comprised of:

    ·         £1,000,000 of capital funding towards the development of the pavilion to be paid in staged payments, on evidence of spend.

    ·         Including 5% to be held by SCC until final evidence is provided of income and expenditure, evaluation and completion (such as building control sign-off).

    Reasons for Decisions:

    This application has been the subject of a rigorous assessment process by officers, as set out in the body of this report. Officers consider the project to meet the aims and published criteria of the fund and to satisfy the requirements to award funding.

     

    Epsom Sports Club’s (ESC) proposed pavilion at Old School’s Lane will provide a home for community sports and offer long term sustainability for football, hockey, cricket and other sports for all ages. This will address a deficiency in current provision and benefit the local community.

     

    The proposed pavilion facilities will also be used by other community clubs and organisations, ensuring the space is a vibrant hub in the heart of the local community, adjacent to an identified SCC Key Neighbourhood.
