This decision was delegated to officers under section 4.4 of the Constitution.

Following engagement with the local public and users of Manzil Way Gardens it was decided to spend £50,000 to refurbish the gardens . This will improve facilities, provide an open, flexible, green space and provide a meeting place and focal point for Cowley Road Carnival and other community events and activities whilst also tackling antisocial behaviour.

Public engagement indicated that the garden should not be overdeveloped.

Enhancing the gardens will encourage and increase legitimate use and will contribute to the aims of the Community Impact Zone which seeks to drive wide-ranging, positive change for the area.
