11 Approval of additional capital spend - third party funding
This report details updates to two capital schemes which we would like Council to approve changes to. If approved these changes would then be in addition to the Capital Programme agreed at Full Council in February 2025.

The first is the Tennis Courts at Privett Park – this project is to refurbish the existing Tennis facilities at Privett Park and provide two new pickleball courts.

The second is the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) project (The P&O Board were made aware that additional funding was granted to Gosport Borough Council in a paper that was approved at March 2025 P&O Board).

Both projects can be paid for by available third-party funding already (now) received and held as cash by Gosport Borough Council.
