Title:
Hammonds Pond Infants Play Area
Subject and Decision Taken
  • This project will deliver thoroughly upgraded infants (up to 6 years) play provision at Hammonds Pond, Upperby, following an increase in user levels due to the construction of a new estate to the East of the park.
  • Funding is in place from a Section 106 agreement between Story Homes (developers of the adjacent Ridings Estate) and the City Council, with a total of £174,588 available for the improvement of recreation facilities at Hammonds Pond.
  • A detailed online and hard-copy consultation questionnaire for play area improvements was produced and widely advertised, with over 500 responses received during four weeks.
  • The feedback received was used to draw up specification documents for a fixed budget project to deliver upgrades to the infants section of the play area. This was openly tendered via The Chest portal during November/December 2020.
Designs and quotations were received from six play equipment suppliers and, following tender scoring, the decision was made to award the contract to Playdale Playgrounds Ltd for a total value of £62,749.90.
Reason for Decision
To utilise available S106 funds to complete a comprehensive overhaul of infants play provision at Hammonds Pond, equipping it with the most suitable equipment available to ensure a long service life, maximum inclusivity for less able users and high play value to local youngsters.
Details of alternative options considered
No action. The S106 funds would be unused and therefore have to be returned to the developer, with interest, by March 2022. The existing play area would continue to deteriorate and the council would be forced to seek external grant funding to carry out necessary repairs or upgrades.
