Cabinet approved a capital grant of up to £20,000, representing 25% of the total scheme cost, for Attenborough Cricket Club to install new light nets and training wickets. Members highlighted wider match-funding from the ECB, the club's participation levels and the value of its women, girls and youth provision.
“Speaker 5: Yeah. Thank you, chair. It's it's single item capital capital grant request, although for a fairly substantial sum. But I guess by definition of of capital grant funded, sometimes that that requires it. It's Attenborough Cricket Club, and it's for the the installation…”
Members asked the committee to consider the future of the Broadgate Park public toilets due to repeated anti-social behaviour, abuse of staff, and poor condition. Options discussed included closure, temporary closure, public consultation, CCTV-style monitoring, community toilet schemes, and potential replacement or redesign.
“So, this is a report to ask, maybe for overview and scrutiny's consideration, in terms of whether you would like to consider this as a a project to sort of take forward. As many members are aware, we've got two sets of public toilets within Beeston. One down by the bus station an…”
Cabinet agreed to adopt the updated HMO Supplementary Planning Document so it can be used as a material consideration for applications across the borough, not only the current Article 4 area. The update strengthens wording on heritage, crime and parking, and members asked for future supporting material to improve public understanding and transparency.
“Speaker 16: Thank you, chair. So members may recall in March, the report this report to cabinet with proposed updates to the HMO SPD. These changes were made following recommendations from the policy overview working group. We've consulted on the updated SPD. There's some further…”
The committee considered an outline application for up to 420 homes at Toton West and resolved that, subject to highways objections being removed and a Section 106 agreement, planning permission would have been granted. This is a policy and planning decision affecting future delivery of housing and associated infrastructure across the wider strategic site.
“So, uh with that, I'm going to move on to the agenda. So, firstly, apologies for any absences. >> Um I've got apologies for Councillor Steve Carr, and I'm substituting for him. >> Thank you, Liz. Who else is fine? Okay, declarations of interest. Have we got any declarations of in…”
The committee received a progress update on implementing cabinet-approved cemetery memorial recommendations. Most recommendations are complete, with remaining work focused on finalising rules and regulations, sign-off processes, permitted memorial items, and a phased implementation from next year, culminating in a cabinet report at the end of September.
“The report provides a comprehensive and positive update on the progress made in implementing the recommendations agreed by cabinet early this year in relation to cemetery memorials. Significant progress has been achieved with a structured program of work in place to deliver a rev…”
The council approved a new private sector housing enforcement policy and civil penalties framework to align with the Renters' Rights Act. Officers explained that the new regime expands enforcement options, may require more formal action sooner, and will be supported by future database and restructuring changes.
“Speaker 7: Yeah. Thank you. So, yeah, so, basically, we've always had an enforcement policy which talks about how we approach enforcement in the private rented sector. But, obviously, with the new legislation, there's a requirement for us to be transparent about how we approach e…”
The committee focused on an outline housing application at land west of Stapleford Lane, Toton, which is part of the wider strategic allocation for the Toton and Chetwynd Barracks area. The main procurement-relevant issues were highways mitigation, infrastructure phasing, Section 106 obligations, and whether the scheme should be considered holistically with the east and north sites. Members also discussed related planning enforcement service performance and data-quality issues in delegated decisions.
The meeting focused on three main procurement-relevant service areas: the cemetery memorials rules implementation, Broadgate public toilet options amid anti-social behaviour and staff safety concerns, and scrutiny work on missed bins and Lime bikes. Members discussed future operational changes, possible consultation, and whether temporary closure or service redesign was needed for the toilets. They also agreed to keep developing the cemetery management approach and to scrutinise waste and active travel issues through work programmes and subcommittees.
The committee primarily discussed Liberty Leisure’s year-end performance, the financial effect of management fees and VAT, and plans for expansion at the new Bramcote/Leisure Centre site. Members also raised future opportunities around Eastwood provision, health-focused services such as Parkinson’s and exercise referral, and procurement items including gym equipment, building works, and a potential canopy and lighting scheme for the Stapleford paddle courts. The meeting also noted possible committee remit changes to cover the new leisure centre and Eastwood hub.
The committee considered several planning applications with procurement-adjacent implications, mainly around development-led expenditure, local regeneration funding, and mitigation conditions. Members debated a retrospective illuminated sign funded through the Kimberley Means Business/Levelling Up work, a major home extension driven by disability access needs, and a town-centre apartment scheme with no parking, focusing on policy tensions around conservation, parking, biodiversity, and urban intensification. The meeting also touched on enforcement follow-up for a dismissed appeal and future reporting on enforcement performance.
The cabinet focused heavily on housing-related procurement and policy: a strong Homes England compliance result, a pipeline of council housing schemes seeking significant external funding, and major updates to housing compliance, rent collection and private rented sector enforcement policies. Members also approved several community and sports grant awards, adopted a borough-wide HMO SPD, and began work on a new local plan. Local government reorganisation was discussed mainly as a governance and representation issue, with the council reaffirming opposition and choosing a cautious response to MHCLG.
Key procurement- and governance-focused discussions included: Mazars’ audit strategy and identified risks (including management override, asset valuations, DB valuations) with planned fieldwork; internal audit progress with no outstanding actions; capital works audit raising issues in data quality, contracts, and surveying; housing improvement board governance and scrutiny arrangements; policy updates on AI governance; local government reorganisation considerations; CCTV funding and usage questions; asylum seeker data transparency; community safety partnership effectiveness; and broader governance/constitutional reform discussions for upcoming meetings.
