Round-up from Environment and Services Committee
A round-up of key decisions from the Environment and Services Committee which took place on Wednesday 29th October.
Southill Play Area Project Initiation Document
Officers will bring back a project plan with costed options at the earliest opportunity. (Full details on the project in Appendix A of the committee agenda.)
Management options for seafront palm trees
A new option to manage the seafront palm trees by leaving the trees in their current location, conducting root pruning, and installing a plastic root barrier was agreed.
Councillors also agreed that any replacement of palm trees along the Promenade in the future is done with Canary Palms where feasible.
Officers will speak to Dorset Council regarding replacement of the two palms at the King’s Statue if there are funds to support this.
Overcombe toilets
If there is additional funding available, the Committee would opt for option 7 to be progressed which is a full high level refurbishment of the toilet facilities with card-payment operated entry.
A request would need to go to Full Council for the release of additional funds.
