Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

To allocate £11,255.00 of the funding to remove the existing concrete style bollards within Clacton Town Centre, replacing them with solar powered bollards around Christmas Tree Island.

Reasons for the decision:

Clacton Town Centre currently has concrete bollards which are regularly a cause for concern due to the sockets failing. This could lead to the concrete balls coming loose, causing a hazard to pedestrians and motorists.
This project is to remove the old concrete bollards around Christmas Tree Island and replace them with new Solar powered bollards.
The project will help to enhance a key area of Clacton Town Centre. The solar bollards will be more aesthetically pleasing providing extra lighting at night and adding a feature to the Town Centre adding to its appeal.

Alternative options considered:

The UKSPF underspend must be spent and delivered in full by 31st March 2025, or else be returned to Central Government; there is no option to carry forward as this financial year is the end of the current programme.
