Minutes:
The Board
considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and
Resources, on a proposed Masterplan Strategy for improvements to Town Park,
Runcorn.
The Board was
advised that Town Park was created as an integral part of the original Runcorn
New Town development. The Park currently fulfilled the original concept as a
substantial continuous open space central to the New Town character and
retained many features of the original layout and design.
It was reported
that the aim of the Town Park Masterplan was to preserve a strong landscape
identity for the future as well as to provide a setting for sustainable leisure
and recreational needs for Halton residents. A key element of
the proposals were noted as being the development of three visitor/
activity hubs, as detailed in the report. The Masterplan approach allowed for
the proposed infrastructure improvements to the wider park area and hub
facilities to be undertaken either separately or in combination with each
other.
RESOLVED:
That the Board
1)
approves the Masterplan;
and
2)
gives delegated
authority to the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and Resources, in
consultation with the Executive Board Member for Physical Environment, to
progress the Town Park project and prepare all necessary information for
suitable grant applications.
