Decision details

a)    that plans for the refurbishment and re-siting of the town clock in the vicinity of the Nags Head pub in Kirkby-in-Ashfield be progressed.

b)    that the use of Section 106 funding to support the implementation of the project be approved.

c)    that the Interim Director of Place and Communities, in conjunction with the Estates Manager and Director of Legal and Governance be delegated authority to enter into negotiations with landowners to reach agreement for the siting of the clock and to consequently enter into a suitable legal agreement.

REASON FOR DECISIONS

To respond to requests made by the local community that the clock be re-sited outside the Nags Head pub in Kirkby. The clock had stood outside the pub since 1960, until its removal in 2014.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REASONS FOR REJECTION

The alternative option of not to re-site the clock was not recommended as this would not have responded to the requests made by the local community.
