Decision details

Councillor B E Harker rejoined the meeting during this item of business.

The Council considered the report of the Leisure Contract Member Task and Finish Working Group (the Working Group) seeking Members consideration of recommendations (set out in Section 3.9 of the report) coming forward from the Working Group in relation to the Leisure Contract.  Appendix A to the report highlighted issues and options along with a summary advising on the recommended approach and legal advice received was attached at Appendix B.

The Chairman put the recommendation as set out in the report subject to the above amendments and upon a vote being taken this was duly agreed by assent.

RESOLVED that the recommendations of the Leisure Contract Member Task and Finish Working Group as set out in section 3.9 of the report (subject to the above amendments) be approved.
