Issue - meetings

Holly Beasley, representing the Aldwyn Crescent Community Club, attended the meeting to answer questions from councillors in relation to an application (copies of which had been circulated) for funding toward public liability insurance to hold ‘play sessions’ that involved formal road closures.

A report on the previous play sessions was also submitted (copies of which had been circulated).

Councillors welcomed the excellent work the group had done in making the sessions a success and in fostering a wider community spirit amongst residents.

RESOLVED - (1) That an award of £600 be made to the Aldwyn Crescent Community Club as a contribution to the cost of public liability insurance for street based play sessions for the next two years.

(2) That the Cabinet Member be invited to review the requirements in the Council’s Street Play policy for public liability insurance in light of the success of the Aldwyn Crescent Community Club project and consider whether a risk based approach, or a Council group policy was more appropriate to encourage greater uptake.
