Issue - meetings

Report CSD14040 

The Sub Committee received a summary of matters arising from previous meetings and considered the following matter in particular:

·  In relation to minute 48/1 (6^th June 2013) regarding the internal fraud and investigation report concerning expenditure on play equipment at Hookwood Road, Pratt’s Bottom, it was noted that the investigation was completed and that no issues of concern were found. However Councillor Grainger felt that even though there was no evidence of fraud and tendering procedures were complied with, the play equipment in this case seemed to be of a higher specification and more expensive than those used in similar play areas. Councillor Grainger felt that there might be over specification, and a possible waste of taxpayer’s money. It was decided that the specification should be looked into further. 

RESOLVED

(1) That the report be noted.

(2) That the reason for the high cost/specification of the play equipment at Hookwood Road, Pratt’s Bottom be clarified by internal audit.
