Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Venue & Events Officer.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Venue & Events Officer.

Members welcomed the proposed Cool Spaces initiative which would provide residents a space to stop in the heat and have access to water at the Corn Exchange. The Committee was also in favour of purchasing a floor fan as opposed to an air conditioning unit due to the practicalities of use.

Members were pleased to see an extensive programme of events in the Main Hall and looked forward to seeing this continue.

The Head of Estates & Operations (HOE&O) gave a verbal update on Burwell Hall, including responses to the points raised by the resident earlier in the meeting. A programme of repairs would take place at the end of August, new blinds would be installed, the hot water boiler would be fixed, and general maintenance of the hall would take place. This would complement the weeding of the area around the Hall which was taking place that week. He also mentioned that improvements in the changing rooms for sports users were in the pipeline for implementation.

The HOE&O also advised a report would be produced to illustrate the success of events in the Corn Exchange, this would include attendance and financial details and would be shared at the next meeting of the Committee on 11 September 2023.

Resolved:

That, the report and verbal update be noted.
