Decision details

In December 2017, Doncaster Council, in partnership with the Friends of Sandall Park, submitted an application to SUEZ for funding towards an extension to the popular Woodland Adventure Play to be installed in Sandall Park at a cost of circa maximum £38,529.00. We were successful in this application and SUEZ is prepared to pay £38,529.00 of grant towards the costs of the project.

The payment to SUEZ Communities Trust of £4,431 from section 106 monies has been made as a contribution to enable the release of funding to a supported project. A payment which is called the Contributing Third Party (CTP) payment.
We now need to decide to accept the funding and implement the project.

To accept £38,529.00 of SUEZ funding to purchase and install the second phase of Woodland Adventure Play in Sandall Park; include the project in the R and approve the draw down of the overall £38,529.00 budget to commence delivery subject to the receipt of appropriate terms and conditions of the SUEZ Grant.

In terms of the grant are very favourable and gives us an opportunity to do something that would not be possible otherwise.
We could decide not to accept the grant, but there are no other resources available so the scheme would have to be cancelled, and this would run contrary to considerable expectation from both the very active Friends of Sandall Park group and senior management that the scheme will go ahead.
