That (A) the terms and conditions of the grant be accepted; and

(B)     the proposals to fund the project be approved and submitted for inclusion in the Council’s Capital Programme for 2017/18.

The Executive Member for Environment and the Public Space submitted a report detailing the outcome of a bid that had been made for Heritage Lottery Funding for restoration and improvements to Waytemore Castle Gardens, Bishop’s Stortford.  The purpose of the project was to conserve and enhance the heritage of Waytemore Castle Gardens, including Sworders Field and improve the park facilities to provide a wider range of activities, events and opportunities for community involvement.

The Executive Member explained that, although the bid had been unsuccessful on this occasion, there was every reason to believe that a resubmitted bid in August 2016 would be successful.  He thanked Officers for their efforts in the bid submission process.

The Executive approved the recommendations now detailed.

RESOLVED - that (A) the terms and conditions of the grant be accepted; and

(B)      the proposals to fund the project be approved and submitted for inclusion in the Council’s Capital Programme for 2017/18.
