Agenda item

The Area Council Manager highlighted the audit of equipment in the parks and open spaces across the North East Area Council damaged through anti-social behaviour.  The cost of replacing the damaged equipment is £5,250 and includes replacement of a cantilever swing, water safety signs, ‘no dog fouling’ signs, litter bins and dog bins.

Members queried if litter bins in park should be paid from S106 money rather than the Area Council budget and also highlighted concerns that dog bins, litter bins, water safety and dog fouling signs should not be included either as this was the responsibility of the parks department, not the Area Council as it is not equipment damaged through anti-social behaviour. 

RESOLVED that funding for the cantilever swing replacement at a cost of £1500 is approved.
