Heworth Without Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) Outcome and Next Steps

On 6th September 2022 the then Executive member approved the following in respect of a MUGA to be sited in Heworth Without:
Resolved: That authority be delegated to the Director of Customer and Communities to:
· undertake a public consultation on where the MUGA should be sited;
· apply for planning permission for the new scheme on the preferred site as necessary;
· appoint the contractor to undertake the works, in accordance with the council’s contract procedure rules and subject to the project being deliverable within the available budget and planning permission being granted.
