Decision details

Before moving on to the substantive report the Town Clerk pointed out that the Chair had deferred the confidential appendix to the minutes of the meeting held on 7 September 2020, as she wished to raise a question on the content.  In answer to a question the Town Clerk advised that the purpose of the minutes was in fact to record recommendations and a brief outline of the content of the discussion.

RESOLVED:          that the confidential appendix to the minutes of the meeting held on 7 September 2020 be agreed as a correct record and signed by the Chair.

The Committee received and considered the confidential report of the Operations and Estates Officer, which included communication from the Sports & Social Club advising that they were withdrawing the use of the changing rooms once the government guidance on restricted use was lifted.   The Operations and Estates Officer had pointed out in that Tower Hill FC had erected a sign on the side of the building without the Council’s permission.

There was a discussion on the changing room situation and the implications for the Council, the fire risk assessment and continued public safety.

RESOLVED:  that the confidential report and communication be noted, and

1. a meeting with the club representatives be arranged;

2. the Council arranges its own Fire Risk Assessment of the Clubhouse;

3. that Officers proceed with any action as deemed necessary as a result of the above two recommendations, subject to professional advice.
