Agenda item

To receive the confidential report of the Deputy Town Clerk.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Deputy Town Clerk.

Members were pleased to see the draft of the agreement and how it was a positive step towards building a better relationship with the Witney Music Festival (WMF) organisers.

Members asked that the agreement was amended to ensure clear understanding that the free hire of They Leys was for the main WMF weekend only and that any additional use would be chargeable.

Also, members would like to see further year-round promotion by both parties and acknowledgement of the Council’s contribution in the week of the main festival.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the agreement is updated reflecting the above comments and sent for review by WMF and,

3.      That, decision to be made on final agreement at a meeting of the Full Council in January 2023.
