Council approves motions supporting the Racecourse on 24th July
by
blog1467707
on Wed 26 Jul 2006 10:01 PM BST
These are the resolutions passed by the Council on Monday 24th July 2006 that were proposed by Cllr Andrew Simpson
Northampton Racecourse Park
This Council recognises Northampton Racecourse as one of the most important parks in the town.
Further this Council:
- Acknowledges that recent occurrences of anti-social behaviour and crime on the park have led to concerns about the safety of the environment on the park.
- Welcomes the initiative by the Chronicle & Echo in its ‘Reclaim the Racecourse’ campaign the recent summit held jointly with Friends of Northampton Racecourse.
- Welcomes the ‘healthy living hub’ initiative as a possible way of levering funds and resources to create a new public facility on the park.
- Notes that it passed policy in 2003 to draw up a rolling 5 year plan for the park and that this has not happened
This Council resolves to:
· Work with all stakeholders and partners to draw up a masterplan for the park.
· Support the idea of the healthy living hub to seek funding for plans to improve the park and develop new public facilities
· Set up a Racecourse Action Team headed by a NBC manager that draws together all NBC stakeholders and external partners.
· Actively seek external funding opportunities for improvements to the park
Proposed: Cllr Andrew Simpson
The Council also approved these further resolutions:-
'This Council welcomes The Racecourse Summit held on Thursday 20th July 2006, and congratulates the Chronicle & Echo for their initiative and involvement. This Council also welcomes the contribution and attendance of all other Partners and Stakeholders, especially the Friends of the Racecourse. IN particular this Council welcomes the ‘Healthy Living Hub’ initiative and appreciates the effort put in by stakeholders to take this forward.
This Council requests the Cabinet to discuss and address the outcomes of the Summit and work with Partners and Stakeholders to drive them forward. Council also requests Cabinet to identify resources and support and develop a viable action plan and long term vision for The Racecourse in partnership wuth Partners and Stakeholders’
