Minutes:
The Committee gave consideration to a report providing an update on the reinstatement of the temporary skatepark and the allocation of £80,000 to assist with the delivery of a permanent skatepark.
Decision
The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee:
1. noted that the reinstatement of the temporary skatepark facilities would be completed in autumn 2023 meeting the conditions of the leisure centre planning consent;
1.
agreed
that the waterfront site is not considered to be a suitable long term location
for an expanded skatepark if a commercial development
is selected as the preferred option for the site but for the avoidance of doubt
the previously existing skatepark area extending to
350sqm or thereby will be incorporated into the development site unless a suitable
alternative location is identified; and
2. noted that a further report would be brought before the Area Committee outlining a list of potential permanent locations for the skatepark and a preferred option would be recommended to be taken forward. Officers have commenced the identification of potential sites as outlined at Section 3.7 of the report and would continue to engage with the skatepark group as part of that process.
