The Council has been granted a combination of
revenue and capital funds of £3,742,400 as part of the
Government's Liveability Fund for physical improvements to public
space. The funding has been awarded for improvements in Weedswood
(Chatham), the North Gillingham ward and the Wilson Avenue area
(Chatham). The report sets out the proposals for fulfilling the
requirements of the grant.
The Cabinet agreed that, subject to Council
approving the additions to the capital programme, the Director of
Development and Environment, in consultation with the Portfolio
Holders for Frontline Taskforce, Highways and Transport and
Community Safety and Enforcement be authorised to:
a) progress the programme
b) consult with the community in the three bid areas to develop
proposals for service improvement and projects for physical
improvement.
The Cabinet endorsed the recruitment to the posts fully funded by
the Liveability Fund grant to deliver the programme by the Director
of Development and Environment under delegated powers.
The Liveability Fund will provide funding for
the improvement of public space in three localities and this
supports the aims of the Council. These projects, which will be
established in largely residential areas of Medway, complement
other regeneration projects that are taking place.
