Decision status: Item Deferred
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decisions:
The Town Hall meeting rooms were used for a variety of purposes for Council business and also used by external organisations from the commercial, voluntary and community sectors. Currently the Council only charges commercial organisations for the use of the rooms and any support provided e.g. refreshments.
Over the next Quarter room bookings for external organisations (non Commercial) exceeded 100.
It was proposed that the Council should introduce a charging regime for non commercial organisations to bring it in line with other providers and also to
assist in defraying the cost of providing the facilities.
A motion was MOVED by Cllr Baker and SECONDED by Cllr Morrissey that the charging regime is not introduced.
During the debate it was agreed by members that more work regarding the costing is undertaken. Cllr Baker and Cllr Morrissey withdrew their motion.
A motion was MOVED by Cllr Quirk and SECONDED by Cllr Sapwell to DEFER this item to a future meeting.
RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY.
REASON FOR DECISION
That more work regarding the costing is undertaken.
