Issue - meetings

In order to ensure the smooth running of the meeting, the Leader announced at the beginning of the meeting that Members would discuss both the H&F Buildings Consultation and Sands End Community Centre reports together. Mr. Nicholas Waldemar-Brown addressed Cabinet as recorded in the minutes above.

RESOLVED:

1.   That the services currently located within the Centre be relocated at suitable alternative venues within the Sands End Ward.

2.    That all services be relocated before the Centre is closed.

3.    That any shortfall in capital funding required to relocate services will be met from the capital receipt for the Centre.

4.    That, subject to recommendations 1-3 above, the Council can no longer afford to keep and maintain the Sands End Community Centre (or subsidise others to do so) and that it is disposed of on terms which the Assistant Director (Buildings and Property) and the Assistant Director (Legal and Democratic Services) consider appropriate.

5.    That the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services be authorised to take all necessary steps to give effect to the above matters.
