Decision details

Councillor Lay reiterated his personal interest, for which he had been granted a dispensation.

The Scrutiny Commission was appraised of two schemes assessed in accordance with the agreed criteria for the Developing Communities Fund.

Concern was expressed in relation to the proposed scheme in Market Bosworth (market place redevelopment) due to the early stage of the project, the need for highway works, the poor traffic control plan as indicated, and the ongoing issue of the use of the land which had been maintained by the parish council for many years, but others claimed to have a right over the land.

Officers agreed to look into the matter prior to proceeding with the funding and to update members at the following meeting.

Members were supportive of the funding for the scheme in Markfield (community park).

RESOLVED –

(i)            The application from Market Bosworth Parish Council be not supported at this time;

(ii)           The application from Markfield Parish Council be supported.
