Issue - meetings

To consider the ‘Land and road at Parkers, Berden’ report.

RESOLVED:

a.    To vary the restrictive covenant to remove the reference to a croquet pitch or bowling green requirement so that the Parish Council can use the grounds for any recreational activity of their choice without first seeking the Council’s approval.

b.    The acquisition of the access road at Parkers, Berden for £1 so that the

Council is placed in the position it had intended when the recreation ground was sold to the Parish Council in 1997.

c.     To pay the Parish Council’s legal/valuation costs which will be capped at £1,500 including VAT.

Councillor Lees, the Portfolio Holder for Housing, Health and Wellbeing, presented the report outlining the situation at Parkers, Berden for the consideration of Cabinet. The report sought approval for the amendment of a restrictive covenant in respect of the recreation ground at the rear of Parkers, and for the transfer of a road that gave access to the council houses in Berden to the District Council. This had been at the request of Berden Parish Council.
