Decision details

Funding for New Ark Adventure Play Ground and City Farm SEP15/CMDN/72

Decision Maker: Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and University

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Cabinet Member authorised an annual grant to New Ark of £33,000 for a three year period, commencing September 2015.

Reasons for the decision:

The decision will secure the continued provision of the New Ark Adventure Play Ground and City Farm, which provides a unique facility for families in Peterborough.

Alternative options considered:

Do not provide any funding support – though the project does receive funding from other areas, including grants, fundraising and income from fees, this option was rejected as the grant enables the facility to maintain the level of services provided for some of our most vulnerable children and ensures sustainability for the future provision.
