Minutes:
Councillor Turner presented a report providing detail on the bids received following the CIL Bidding Process and seeking the approval of a revised CIL Spending Protocol.
She drew Cabinet’s attention to a revised recommendation to award St Faith’s Church Havant £21.5k towards making the church accessible to all.
Cabinet had mixed opinions around the merits of awarding CIL funding to St Faith’s Church. Whilst Cabinet acknowledged that St Faith’s was viewed as the Civic Church for the Borough and open to all faiths, the Council’s policy on CIL spending precluded awarding funding to places of worship.
Cabinet also discussed the merits of the proposed highways scheme for Hambledon Road, which some members did not feel was necessary. During the discussion it was explained that highways works were often put forward by highways engineers and based upon identified needs.
Councillor Turner proposed the following amendment to the third recommendation:
iii) The Council invest the available Neighbourhood Portion funds as at
31 March 2018 outlined in Table D in the capital infrastructure
