Agenda item

To receive and consider the confidential report of the Town Clerk/C.E.O.

The Committee received and considered the confidential report of the Town Clerk relating to the renewal of the lease of Madley Park Hall to Madley Hall Park Trust (MPHT).

Members reported that residents had faced issues when trying to book the hall in the recent past relating to alcohol consumption on the premises. It was agreed the Town Clerk would address this in the negotiations.

The Committee also asked that the Council raise awareness with MPHT that they maximise the use of their status as a charity in obtaining grant funding which is not available to the council; this included West Oxfordshire District Council West Hive scheme as this could be a solution to financing the repairs to the internal doors.

Recommended:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, a new lease be drawn up for agreement on similar terms as before.
