Decision details

Ward members have recently used Section 106 monies to enhance the facilities at Bentley Park with the installation of a level access, accessible roundabout. Plans are also in place to further enhance and extend the water play within the park.

With the further developments, Ward Members are also keen to ensure that this development and enhancement is protected by the upgrading and addition to the existing CCTV provision at the park.

1. To approve the allocation of £5,860 of Section 106 monies for further upgrades and additions to the existing CCTV network at Bentley Park, Askern Road, Bentley.

2. To approve the allocation of £1,400 to be transferred to Community Safety for 10 years maintenance budget for the new cameras.

3. To include the scheme in the Council's Capital Programme.

4. To approve scheme implementation.

Option 1 - To do nothing - To do nothing would mean that potentially the investment could be left unprotected and vulnerable to damage and theft.

Option 2 - To use the money elsewhere - Various schemes and options have been considered in alternative uses for this money. Others have been rules out for reasons such as ongoing maintenance etc. However, this scheme will ensure that the investment is protected and improve security in this Green Flag Status Park.
