Decision Maker: Ward Member for Cheriton (2)
Decision published: 29/06/2021
Effective from: 02/06/2021
Decision:
To provide funding of £ 500 to the above project.
Reason for decision:
The 1st Cheriton Scout Hut is used by ourselves, local groups such as line dancers and Slimming World groups along with the local council as a polling station. Historically the building has been used as a local bingo hall and also as a secondary school special assistance centre for many months.
Scouting gives young people the opportunity to try new things, be of service to others, builds self-confidence and reinforces ethical standards.
These opportunities not only help them when they are young, but carry forward into their adult lives, as well.
What children learn in their formative years is instrumental in shaping their characters.
Scouting builds character by teaching confidence and self-reliance, and promoting positive role models as your child grows and develops.
Through planned advancement, Scouts are always in a learning environment, increasing their capacity for goal-setting, choice making and accomplishment.
Scouting Brings Families Together. Scouting is unique in that it offers families a variety of experiences not found in other activities and in doing so enriches the local community.

18/05/2021 - URGENT DECISION: CONNECT 38 - ADDITION OF CAT A WORKS TO GENERAL FUND CAPITAL PROGRAMME ref: 2401 Recommendations Approved
In May 2019, Folkestone & Hythe District Council purchased the investment property known as Connect 38 in Ashford, Kent. At that time, the first floor and part of the second floor were vacant and required finishing to a Category A (CatA) specification before leasing out. Unfortunately this space remained vacant as a result of low interest in office space through the Covid pandemic.
Recently however there has been a resurgence of interest in office space and the council has agreed draft heads of terms with a potential new tenant who requires occupation by 30 July 2021. Therefore the CatA works to the second floor need to be undertaken immediately to enable this deadline to be met. Urgent approval is now required to modify the Council’s capital programme to allow the CatA works to be undertaken in order to let the vacant space.

To make an urgent decision to add £400,000 to the General Fund capital programme to allow the necessary Cat A works to the Connect 38 building to be met from monies received under the legal agreement for the original property acquisition (held in the Capital Grants and Contributions Unapplied Reserve).
3. To note that this matter will be reported to Full Council at the next available opportunity.
