As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Roberts introduced the Bailey Hill – Heritage Lottery Fund Stage 2 Application report which details progress on the project and proposed the Council’s position and contributions towards the project ahead of submission of the application.

                        Bailey Hill was a significant project to improve the heritage environment of the Motte and Bailey Caste which included large areas of tree removal, access improvements, a new play area and site-wide interpretation including a display area in the Custodians Lodge.

                        In response to a question from Councillor Attridge, the Chief Officer (Organisational Change) explained that the Council contribution towards the overall masterplan and capital costs had been previously identified as funding for the play area. 

            (Having earlier declared interests, Councillors Bithell and Thomas left the room during consideration of the item.)

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Council’s position and contributions towards the project, as outlined in the report, be agreed; and

(b)       That delegated authority be given for submission for the Stage 2 Heritage Lottery Application, in line with the position and contributions outlined (subject to minor changes) by the Chief Officer (Organisational Change) in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Education.
