Decision details

To provide information on the proposed enhancements to Wisbech Park Splash Pad.

This is the first project in Wisbech to be brought forward for delivery as part of the £30m+ Fenland Inspire! Programme which seeks to enhance the leisure and cultural legacy to be left by Fenland District Council after Local Government Reorganisation.

AGREED:

·         To note the contents of the report and approve further work to be carried out to deliver enhancements to the Wisbech Park Splash Pad, and to authorise the Section 151 Officer to add £60,000 to the Capital Programme to fund the enhancements and delegate to the Portfolio Holder for Open Spaces and the Corporate Director to enter into all necessary arrangements to deliver the project.

·         This is a staged plan. This year the project will include canopy, picnic benches and landscaping added to existing infrastructure. Next year a larger scheme will be implemented. A further paper on next year’s scheme with rough costs will return to Cabinet in 3 months’ time.
