The last meeting of the Loughborough North West Area Forum was held at Gorse Covert Community Centre.

Nineteen people attended the meeting and discussed progress on the projects bought forward through the participatory budget process. A recommendation was accepted by the Forum to fund the following projects:

BMX track/youth shelter at Jubilee Park;
(to create a local place for young people to meet and socialise) £9,000 has been set aside until the end of May 2010 for this project which still needs much work to confirm whether or not it is feasible. This will include consultation work with residents in the neighbourhood. Should the structure on Jubilee Park not prove viable, the £9,000 will be ring-fenced for projects to benefit young people in Loughborough North West.
The Hut kitchen refurbishment;
(to rebuild a kitchen to a high quality to allow for use by many local groups, including younger and older people)
A maximum of £5,000 has been allocated, depending upon final costs.
Soft play area at Boothwood school;
(to create a safe play area for use by school children and a summer play scheme) £4,000 allocated as a contribution towards total costs.
Youth Zone;
(to purchase WIIs and computer games for use by young people utilising after school clubs at the Hut) £2,000 allocated.

The recommendations agreed above will now be put to Charnwood Together for final endorsement before funding can be released.
