FIRTH LANE PLAYING FIELD, WILSDEN ALSO KNOWN AS WILSDEN RECREATION GROUND The Strategic Director, Corporate Resources will present a report (Document “BD”) which asks the Committee to consider the grant of a Service Level Agreement passing the responsibility for the management and maintenance of the recreation ground to Wilsden Parish Council.
Recommended –
That the Trustees of the Firth Lane Recreation Ground approve the grant of a Service Level Agreement to Wilsden Parish Council making them responsible for the management and maintenance of the recreation ground.
(Nigel Gillatt – 01274 434224) Additional documents: Minutes: The Strategic Director, Corporate Resources presented a report (Document “BD”) which asked the Committee to consider the grant of a Service Level Agreement passing the responsibility for the management and maintenance of the recreation ground to Wilsden Parish Council.
Both the above matters were considered together in a joint presentation, and the Senior Surveyor Estates and Property explained that the reports were requesting the approval of a Service Level Agreement for both sites, which would allow the management and maintenance responsibility of the two sites to be passed onto Wilsden Parish Council. Wilsden Parish Council had requested this change and the Neighbourhood Service were happy for it to proceed.
It was also proposed that other sites would be included in the future, these however were not part of the charitable trust, and did not form part of these proposals.
The commuted sum would be £10k per annum to be paid to Wilsden Parish Council . The Service Level agreement would not change the role of the Trustees and this was in no way related to the disposal of land , but merely to the maintenance and management issues affecting the two sites. Any future status or disposal would require a different course of action. The details of the SLA were set out in the report. The Chair of Wilsden Parish Council was present at the meeting and in welcoming the proposals stated that Wilsden Parish Council had proposed this course of action which would ensure better maintenance, in the context of concerns raised in relation to the park and recreation field, particularly for the maintenance of green spaces. An asset transfer was also being looked, however it was acknowledged that this would require a separate, more complicated legal process. The Chair acknowledged the points made by the Parish Councillor and welcomed the commitment of the Parish Council, and it was therefore: Resolved –
That the Trustees of the Firth Lane Recreation Ground approve the grant of a Service Level Agreement to Wilsden Parish Council making them responsible for the management and maintenance of the recreation ground.
ACTION: Strategic Director, Corporate Resources
