Mental Health Centre PDF 67 KB Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services. Minutes: The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services seeking approval for the drawdown of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) for a mental health centre for those working and living in the Square Mile.
The Director of Community and Children’s Services clarified that since the drafting of reports and discussions with the City Surveyor, there had been an increase in the financial estimate of a further £70,000 from the CIL. Members agreed that approvals could be sought under delegated authority.
A Member remarked that the report did not contain much information on the mental health centre itself, and another Member felt that it was important that increased emphasis on mental health support should be made available to officers and Members at the City Corporation.
RESOLVED, that: · The mental health centre be allocated funding to an amount up to £451,000 from a drawdown from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL); and · Approval for additional funding of £70,000 from a drawdown from COL be sought under delegated authority in consultation with the Town Clerk and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman. |
