To encourage and increase participation of recreational activities on the open space and ensure that when doing so the public are safeguarded from illegal off road motorcycles.

This installation will reduce isolation for these residents and encourage activities and socialising in the community.

The total cost of the facility and installation is £10,264.20 and is to be funded by £5,132.10 of Section 106 monies and £5,132.10 from Doncaster Council Highways.

The Section 106 agreement for Doncaster Road, Denaby Main (05/03291/OUT) site states the monies are to be used for “providing/enhancing other areas of public open space within the
Council's area." The Section 106 monies are not time limited.

A gate access point will be installed to the area to allow for Street Scene to complete their maintenance programme.

The proposed development will be undertaken by Doncaster Council Highways.

To utilise Section 106 monies from Doncaster Road, Denaby Main site (05/03291/OUT) for the purpose of funding £5,132.10 for the installing a fence around the public open space on Thirlwall Avenue, Conisbrough. This land is owned by Doncaster Council and is a public open green space.

The full cost of the monies will be put towards the installation cost.
The scheme will also be funded by Doncaster Council Highways and they are contributing a further £5,132.10 to meet the full installation costs of £10,264.20, via revenue funding.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED
There is a lack of facilities in the locality where children can play and socialise near to their homes and under the supervision of their parents.

The installation of this fence will allow for this to happen in a safer and controlled environment.

The option of not installing the fence was explored and dismissed as not viable due to the risks outlined from illegal off road motorcycles.
