Telscombe Town Council café consultation

Telscombe Town Council are exploring a project to add a café in Chatsworth Park.

A café could bring many benefits to the town and park such as:

* Social space for people using the park including dog walkers, people working from home, parents taking their children to the play areas

* Creating a social space in the centre of a residential area

* Improving facilities within Telscombe

* Reducing the environmental costs of people using their cars to visit a café

* Extending how long people can use the park

Alongside 50% grant funding from other sources, we will need to take out a loan to cover the balance, plus factor in annual running costs. This would necessitate an increase in Council Tax for a Band D property of approximately 12p a week or £6.40 per annum.

This does not take into account revenue from a successful café operation. However, there is likely be a further increase when setting the budget to cover provision for other Council services.

All responses will be handled anonymously. As there are council tax implications for a café we would like to know addresses for respondents so we know how those whose council tax may be affected are responding.

The consultation will close on Friday 17^th May at 5pm
