The following comments were made/issues raised:-

 

      The Area Committee asked for consideration to be given to the gas pipe being laid on a shorter route on the other side of Bruntwood Park which leads to the Vinery cafe (i.e. on the other side of the cluster of buildings).

 

      Concern was expressed that the area of the park which it was

proposed be dug up to enable the gas pipe to be laid was in close proximity to some large trees. The Area Committee requested an assurance that the trees would be protected and that the Arboricultural Officer examine the proposed route of the gas pipe before approval was given to the installation of a new gas supply to the hall.

 

      There would be an increase in traffic along a narrow road whilst the gas pipe was being laid which already had quite a considerable amount of traffic with poor sight lines. In addition, there was also already children playing in the nearby playground who may rush across the road.

 

      Concern was expressed that the works might take place at a time when there was maximum use of the park in the summer.

 

RESOLVED – That the Corporate Director for Corporate and Support Services be advised that the Area Committee agrees to the installation of a new gas supply in Bruntwood Park in principle, but recommends:-

 

(a)       that it be investigated whether the gas pipe could be laid on a shorter route on the opposite side of the park which leads to the Vinery cafe; and

 

(b)       that if it not possible for the recommendation in (a) to take place, the Arboricultural Officer examines the proposed route of the gas pipe as it is in close proximity to some large trees and the Area Committee requests that an assurance be given that the large trees will be protected.
