Issue - items at meetings - Rottingdean Terraces

That Members agree an allocation of up to £3000 towards the cost of the ramp to the Rottingdean Terrace Stage subject to satisfactory granting of planning permission.

That the Committee instruct officers to develop a model form of legal agreement with groups such as parish councils who wish to fund projects on council land or apply for funding.

174.1   The Assistant Chief Executive introduced the report which resulted from the Notice of Motion that had been approved at Council and considered at the last meeting.  She stated that it was proposed to make a contribution of £3,000 towards the costs of the access ramp for the Terraces as £1,000 had already been incurred in terms of professional time and the preparation of plans etc.

174.2   Councillor Morgan noted the proposal to develop a model form of legal agreement with groups who wish to fund projects on council land or apply for funding and suggested that it be taken to the Constitution Working Group for consideration.

174.3   Councillor G. Theobald stated that the Conservative Group were broadly in support of the report although would have preferred to have met the £4,000 costs for the provision of the ramp in full.

174.4   The Chair put the recommendations to the vote.
