Issue - meetings

To consider the report on the Claypits Plantation.

RESOLVED to:

1)    Approve the allocation of the site as a forest school

2)    Delegate to the Director of Finance and Corporate Services authority to agree the requirements and arrangements with the users.

The Claypits Plantation is maintained by the Council under a 50 year lease. The site had fallen into disrepair after its previous users, a BMX group, left the site, and the report presented options as to the best use of the site.

The option to use it as a forest school was popular amongst schools and was more in line with the original lease between the Council and Audley End Estate than alternative options.

RESOLVED to

1)    Approve the allocation of the site as a forest school. 

2)    Delegate to the Director of Finance and Corporate Services authority to agree the requirements and arrangements with the users.
