It was proposed that a payment would be made to the Town Council of £10,000 to support the estimated cost of 10 years maintenance.
It was noted that the original funding would be from the forecasted underspend in the 2022/23 ‘tree works’ ‘heritage and design’ revenue budget. It was explained that if the underspend had been taken back had been reallocated, the Council Priorities Fund be appropriate to use or top up the underspend as necessary.
It was noted that a small part of the land was being retained for future housing, but the vast bulk of the land as highlighted in red at Annex A would be transferred.
The Cabinet Member considered the recommendations of the officer and resolved to APPROVE the recommendation
Reason for Decision of the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance
The Cabinet Member accepted the recommendation that this was an important local feature enjoyed by the residents of Northleach and visitors to the town, and that it was felt that the local community would be best to continue supporting the maintenance of this asset through the ownership of the Town Council
