Agenda item

To receive and consider the request from the Council’s tenant to sublet the top floor of the Langdale Hall and carry out the necessary works in order to make it accessible, in conjunction with the Officer’s confidential verbal report.

The Committee received and considered correspondence from the Managing Director of the ICE Centre, concerning a request to sub-let a top floor room. The Town Clerk advised that the lease did not allow any part of the building to be sub-let so if the Committee decided to permit it, it would need to go through a legal process.

Members thought the idea was good but there was some concern it could set a precedent.  The Town Clerk advised that it could be stipulated that it was only permitted to be sub-let to that specified in the correspondence.

RECOMMENDED:             that the Council agrees in principle to The ICE Centre sub-letting a top floor room to that specified in the confidential correspondence providing that all necessary legal work was completed and at the expense of the ICE Centre.
