The Committee received and considered the report of the Town Clerk, containing spending recommendations from the Halls and Green Spaces Committee and the Stronger Communities Committee.
Members also considered a confidential debtors report and revising the annual rent for Witney Feast Fair. The Town Clerk , the Leader and Deputy Mayor had met with the Fair’s Operator, Mr Wilson, earlier in the week and he had explained that it was a complicated process for him to increase the hire charges to his stall holders and therefore he would prefer one rise covering several years rather than a 5% increase year on year on the proposed figure of £8,700. This was discussed at length by the Committee and it was decided that a charge of £9, 150 per annum for a 3-year period should be put to Mr Wilson. This effectively included a 5% increase per annum on the £8,700 originally agreed.
RECOMMENDED:
1. that the report be noted;
2. that the recommendations as detailed in the report of the Town Clerk from the spending committees be agreed;
3. that the annual rent agreement for Witney Feast Fair Operators, Bob Wilson Funfairs Ltd, be set at £9,150 per annum for a period of 3 years.
