Chipping Barnet NCIL Members Items - Mar 2022 PDF 216 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Cllr Pauline Coakley Webb- Friern Barnet Community Library
Cllr Coakley Webb presented the item. The Committee noted that the library had been taken over by the Trust, responsible for internal works. One of three quotes for re-decoration was accepted and submitted for Committee’s consideration.
The Chairman was in support of the application but noted that issues like damp are complex and difficult to identify. Invoices should make clear where the damp is coming from and any internal works guarantee to repair the damp.
Invoices did not provide information of required works to help Members make an informed decision. Members agreed that quotes from suppliers must be detailed, clear and up to date.
Further to a discussion, the Committee voted to defer the application as follows:
RESOLVED that the Committee: -Considers the request as highlighted in section 1 of the report. -Defers the application for further information as outlined above.
Cllr Laurie Williams - Oak Hill Park: Playground in the North of the Park
Cllr Byers who was in support of the application, queried whether the original scheme had been progressed. The Lead Officer explained that following initial approval, the scheme had been reviewed and required additional funding for viability.
Members asked for an itemised breakdown of the request for funding and supplementary information. The Lead Officer explained that Members are encouraged to liaise with Officers as early as possible and that there was no mandatory format to NCIL applications. However, further information may be provided at the Committee’s request.
Officers advised that if the item were to be deferred, it could be brought back to a future Committee once supplementary information was available.
Members requested that the item include Cllr Williams’ initial request and any subsequent information for Committee’s consideration.
Further to a discussion, the Committee voted to defer the application as follows:
RESOLVED that theCommittee: -Considers the request as highlighted in section 1 of the report. -Defers the application for further information as outlined above.
