Decision - MyPlace Strategy

1.       That the need analysis maps, suitability survey, draft Strategy for Change Framework and consultation with key stakeholders be noted.

2.       That the proposal to submit a Myplace bid with the main focus being the redevelopment of the 67 Centre in Moulsecoomb be approved, but with consideration given to linking this with smaller redevelopment projects in the other CYPT areas of the city.

3.       That the proposal to work collaboratively with Hove YMCA to invite them to undertake more detailed work on the bid be approved.

1.       Myplace is the capital element from Aiming High for young people: a ten year strategy for positive activities, which sets an ambition to provide new and improved places for young people in all areas of the country over the next ten years.  Funded by DCSF and distributed via the Big Lottery Fund, it will provide £190 million of capital investment in order to deliver world class youth facilities driven by the active participation of young people and their views and needs.

1.       The Needs analysis (as per appendices to the report) identifies why this option is being pursued.
