Decision details

The existing Multi Use Games Area is 20 years old and urgently requires new fencing around the play surface. It also requires new surface markings and a replacement set of goals etc. There is also a change of levels between the play surface and the park area, this is a health and safety concern and requires a fence being installed to avoid any one falling while using the equipment.

To renovate the existing Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) on Manvers Park. Works will include replacing fencing and re-marking of the pitches. The cost estimate for the scheme is £35,000 and will be funded from Section 106 monies.
The funding will be taken from the following two Sections 106 pots:
Manvers Road, Mexborough (07/03583/FULM) - £20,757. This will use the full balance remaining on this site.
Adwick Road/Harlington, Mexborough (03/2042/P) - to use £14,243 of this amount.
Total £35,000.

Option 1 - To do nothing will result in not utilising available Section 106 money and the park will remain the same.
Option 2 - To remove the play area completely to make the area safe and loose a popular asset in the area
Option 3 - The preferred option is to utilise the Section 106 money to improve the park and make the area safer for park users.
