Purpose:
Content: The Chair accepted the item Leavesden Country Park – Entrance Widening – Additional Fees. The Chair confirmed he was accepting that this item be dealt with under the Council’s urgent procedure, allowing for group leaders, in conjunction with the Chief Executive, to allow the works to proceed if agreed by the Committee. It was highlighted that although the contractors were in place to undertake work, this would not proceed without the agreement of additional funding. The committee discussed the budget for the works, the committed spend on the Section 106 budget, and whether Three Rivers District Council should seek higher up front full costs of works. RESOLVED: To agree Option 1 to progress to complete the project at Leavesden Country Park, and in so doing to agree to increase the budget for this project by £45,197.01, utilising S106 funding from budget code 0193 – Reserve S106 Horsefield – Abbots Langley (Open Space), and for this to be resolved through use of the Council’s urgency procedure.
