Motion: Mantlin Playing Fields Disposal

Notes that this Council’s Community Plan 2030 states,” This Plan sets the strategic direction which all community planning partners, both at an individual organisation level and collectively, will work towards to achieve our shared Vision and to improve quality of life for all our people”

People & Communities

1. Our people are healthy and well – physically, mentally and emotionally

2. Older people lead more independent, engaged and socially connected lives

3. Our communities are inclusive, safe, resilient and empowered

4. Our people have the best start in life with lifelong opportunities to fulfil their potential.

Environment

5. Our outstanding and culturally rich environment is cherished, sustainably managed and appropriately accessible

The Mantlin Playing Fields should be considered a valuable asset to aid in the delivery of the Community Plan and therefore the decision which deemed Mantlin Playing Fields “Surplus” and the subsequent decision to dispose the asset be reconsidered.

We therefore propose that the Council does not dispose to any third party and keeps Mantlin Playing Fields for the benefit of the residents of Kesh and the surrounding area.
