Minutes:
Nick Barnes, Principal Project Development Officer submitted an update on the delivery of the Green Spaces Programme 2005/06 which aimed to deliver infrastructure improvements in targeted Green Spaces within the Council through the South Yorkshire Housing Market Pathfinder to an approved value of £1,400,575.00.
The Programme delivered work that addressed public concerns in green spaces adjacent to housing in target areas over safety and anti-social behaviour and by putting target hardening provisions in place. It delivered infrastructure improvement measures which were needed to bring sites up to a basic level of quality. There were also planning and feasibility works which would inform future developments whether through the Pathfinder or other funding programmes.
A table was appended to the eport which showed specific works on a site by site basis with indicative costs. The work included improvements and creations to paths in parks, fencing works to secure boundaries and control access within the sites, provision of lighting along main paths and CCTV to reduce fears about personal safety and some degree of re-landscaping of specific areas.
Some of the work was being delivered by Groundwork DearneValley.
Agreed:- That the report be noted.
