Agenda and minutes

Consider request from ClubSport Tweeddale. (Copy attached.)

         There had been circulated copies of a request for funding of £5,782 from ClubSport Tweeddale to help fund a feasibility study on redeveloping the sporting facilities present in Peebles.  Mr Adrian Lucas of the organisation joined the meeting and explained the group’s planned activities.  The project planned to explore the potential to replace the changing and storage facilities at Whitestone Park Peebles, improve the changing facilities at the Gytes Leisure Centre, relocate Peebles Rovers FC to Violet Bank, create additional athletics facilities at Violet Bank and improve the hospitality facilities at the Tweeddale FC Pavilion.  The funds applied for would be used in the creation of a 3D video of the proposed plans to take to the public for consultation.  Members praised the application and congratulated ClubSport Tweeddale on their excellent work.  The Estates Strategy Manager explained that as part of the feasibility study the appropriate due diligence would involve examining site history, legal titles etc. Councillor Tater, seconded by Councillor Pirone moved to approve the request, which was unanimously approved.

         DECISION

         AGREED to approve the request for funding in the sum of £5,782.
