Agenda item

To consider whether it is beneficial for the Town Council to partner with Experience Oxfordshire.

Ther Committee received correspondence from Experience Oxfordshire and considered if the Council should sign up to the scheme.

Members discussed the benefits which included the promotion of events in Council venues, particularly given that the Corn Exchange had had to cancel a recent event due to low uptake of ticket sales.

Members had concerns about the outreach of the scheme’s website and social presence. They asked that Officers obtain further information so that a decision can be made at a future meeting however, asked that the amount to join the scheme be taken into account when setting the budget for 2024/25.

Recommended:

1.      That, the correspondence be noted and,

2.      That, Officer obtains further information from Experience Oxfordshire and,

3.      That, the sum of £1,199 +Vat be included in the Budget Setting for 2024/25.
