83 St Michael's Golf Course, Widnes- Change to Capital Programme - KEY DECISION
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of
the Strategic Director, Children and
The Board was advised that it was important to complete the Phase 2 works, to reduce the estimated yearly leachate disposal costs and to ensure the site could be restored for future use (yet to be determined).
Reason(s) for Decision
The decision related
to a significant investment to conclude the remediation of the former St.
Michael’s Golf Course. Once the remediation was completed, this would allow the
Council to progress with the development of options for the future use of the
site.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
An alternative would
be to continue with the current leachate disposal
arrangements. However, this was costing the Council £3,000 per week and was,
therefore, unsustainable financially.
Implementation Date
Implementation of
the amendment to the capital programme would be 1st March 2012.
Completion of the remediation would be July 2012.
RESOLVED: That Council be recommended to amend the Capital Programme accordingly.
