Decision details

Includes update on contract for park redevelopment and renewal and outcome of tender for the leisure opportunity in the south west corner of the park.

Before the Committee was a report by the Director for the Economy, copies of which had been circulated to all Members and a copy of which is attached to the signed copy of these minutes as Item 20.

The report updated the Committee on the work undertaken to restore Brooklands Lake, improve landscaping, develop a new play area and new café within the park. 

The report advised members of the Committee of progress made to secure a partner to deliver a new family leisure facility on the south western corner of the park. 

It set out how officers were working with emphasis on activities and events within the park to improve community engagement and deepen relationships with local stakeholders who would provide long term stewardship for Brooklands in conjunction with Worthing Borough Council. 

The Committee expressed support for the proposals, thanking both Officers and the Friends of Group for their endeavours. 

The recommendations set out in the report were proposed by Councillor Edward Crouch seconded by Councillor Kevin Jenkins and unanimously supported.
