Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust (CSLT) who now run Milton Country Park on behalf of South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) have asked SCDC for a grant of £261,000 towards the cost of an extension and improvements to the Visitor Centre.

According to SCDC:

CSLT has advised that, without these capital improvements to the visitor centre, Milton Country Park is not expected to be a sustainable facility beyond 2010. In these circumstances, CSLT would not, as a registered charity, be able to legally continue to trade MCP on an insolvent basis, therefore the lease would have to revert back to SCDC.

SCDC’s cabinet has already met and decided to agree to the grant (the relevant papers can be found here) however it now has to go to full council which it will do this Thursday evening and it looks like being an interesting meeting as a number of councillors are openly opposed to this grant being made.
