| Uttlesford’s Cabinet made this Key Decision on Monday. See earlier story. | Uttlesford Cabinet Agenda item 15 – S106 Community Pot, Stansted
RESOLVED that: i. Subject to the agreement of the developer, a sum of £200,000 is allocated to Stansted Parish Council to fund the release of all “reserved rights” held by a third party over all of the Parish council owned land at Crafton Green. ii. The allocation of £52,290 for the skateboard park is removed and the monies added back to the available pot of money. The Cabinet noted that the Parish Council had given a written undertaking to provide a replacement pot of money to be made available for projects at Forest Hall Park and endorsed this approach.
|
Reasons: To enable intended community projects at Forest Hall Park intended to be funded from the S106 allocation to proceed.
Other options considered and rejected: none Any interest declared by any member of the Cabinet: Councillor Barker declared a prejudicial interest as the matter comes within her remit as a portfolio holder at Essex County Council. She remained out of the room for the consideration of this item and took no part in the discussion or voting. In respect of any conflict of interest declared, whether dispensation is in existence for that interest: No

UPDATE OCTOBER 2021: This post followed another blog post 12 days earlier on 1st July 2017, in which I raised concerns. The post above advised agreement had been reached – now over four years ago – between UDC and Stansted Parish Council that the latter would replace the money “borrowed” to build what became known as the Mountfitchet Exchange building. The improved arrangement meant that future, but then unknown, projects at Forest Hall Park could be paid for. See the earlier post:
Sadly, in this month of October 2021, a candidate for a parish council seat vacancy attacked the parish council – when none was justified – by quoting the first post only. This person failed to relate the truth that the matter was rectified in less than a fortnight after my first complaining post – astonishingly over four years ago! That person was elected to the parish council this month and should correct the falsehoods that stirred up public discontent and no doubt contributed to an election victory on a very low voter turnout.
