The Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Tourism was consulted and he has concurred with all aspects of the Corporate Director's decision.

Decision:

To approve the award of the contract to Betongpark Limited and to agree with the insurance uplift cost to be covered to meet the requirements for the Skate Park refurbishment located at Clacton Leisure Centre, contractual sum £254,620. Additionally, to agree the additional improvement work.

Alternative options considered:

Not to proceed with the refurbishment; however, this option will create a poor first impression of the leisure facility, and the area will be abandoned, which could lead to increased anti-social behaviour at the site.
