Decision details

Part 3, Schedule 3 - Responsibility for Executive Functions delegated to Officers paragraph 4.3 (1) - the Corporate Director has delegated authority to discharge executive functions within their respective service areas (Part 3.38). All delegations are subject to consultation where considered appropriate in the circumstances (paragraph 4.3 (4(ii) - Part 3.39). The Corporate Director Paul Price, Operational Services has delegated operational matters relating to the Public Health Grant to the Public Health, Wellbeing and Environmental Protection Manager and Public Health Improvement Coordinator.

The proposal to develop a 5 a side football pitch and league will support Tendring District Councils Health and Wellbeing priorities of tackling obesity and increasing the uptake of physical activity levels. The award of the grant will also support Tendring District Council's Corporate Plan commitment of promoting healthier lifestyles and wellbeing as well as supporting improved community health for residents and visitors.

There is minimal risk to Tendring District Council as operational aspects of the development of the 5 a side football pitch and league will be the responsibility of the Parkeston Welfare Park Committee. It is also considered likely that the financial liabilities for Tendring District Council will be minimal, as the grant is originally provided by Essex County Council Public Health for use on local initiatives in Tendring.
