Advice of the Advisory Panel

That the Executive Member be advised:

(i)           That the views of the young people who had been working on the project be noted;

(ii)         That the submission of a bid to secure “myplace” monies to develop centrally-based facilities for young people in York be supported in principle;

(iii)       That the site options available be noted and the young people’s preference for the city centre site be supported;

(iv)    That further officer-led work through the rest of the month be supported, to establish the detailed site and partnership options, so as to enable final appraisal nearer the deadline as to the relative merits of submitting a bid now, or deferring it until a further bidding round;

(v)     That Members be kept informed of progress with this work.

Decision of the Executive Member

RESOLVED:That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.

REASON:To secure additional investment in youth facilities in the city in line with corporate priorities, and the views of residents and young people themselves.
