Minutes:
The
Committee considered the report of the Cobtree Officer setting out details of work
undertaken across the Cobtree Estate
during the period November 2013 to June 2014. It was noted that:
- Visitor figures to date showed that the popularity of the Manor
Park continued to improve, with visitor numbers up 55% on the
previous year.
- Work
on the tender package for the operation and management of the Golf
Course was progressing, but it was likely that an extension to the
existing lease would be required to enable the exercise to be
completed.
- Tenders had been invited for the construction of the new Visitor
Centre/Cafe, and it was anticipated that a recommendation would be
made to the September meeting of the Committee regarding the
appointment of a contractor.
- Quotes
for the replacement of the two refurbished huts at the rear of the
Kent Life site, which were burnt down in a suspected arson attack
in June 2014, would be reported to a future meeting of the
Committee. In the meantime, action had
been taken to improve security at the site.
Members
reiterated the need to ensure that the new Visitor Centre/Cafe was
delivered on time and within budget.
RESOLVED:
That the progress report on the works undertaken
across the Cobtree Estate during the
period November 2013 to June 2014, attached as Appendix A to the
report of the Cobtree Officer, be
noted.
