Agenda item

To receive and review the policy for illuminating the interior of the Corn Exchange for local, charitable and national occasions. If agreeable, to recommend re-adoption by the Policy, Governance & Finance Committee.

The Committee received and considered the Corn Exchange Illumination Policy which was due for review.

The Committee agreed the illumination generally worked well and were in favour of renewing agreements already put in place by the previous administration.

Members asked that those requesting illuminations during summer months be advised that due to the nature of the lighting system that they may not be visible until late in the evening along with any request where Officers were aware that the lighting would be delayed due to a Gallery Room booking.

All Members were in agreement with the readoption of the policy.

The Deputy Town Clerk advised of two new requests which had been received to highlight Parkinson UK and World Down Syndrome Day. Members agreed that these should be permitted.

Recommended:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the Illumination of Corn Exchange for Events Policy be readopted and,

3.      That, the requests to light up the Corn Exchange for Parkinson UK and World Down Syndrome Day be approved.
