Agenda item

To receive a confidential report from the Town Clerk/CEO.

The Committee received the confidential report of the Town Clerk/CEO which concerned one of the Councils building assets.

Members also received a verbal summary of the history of the lease arrangements along with a verbal update from the Head of Estates & Operation regarding the current condition of the fabric of the building.

The Committee welcomed the report and praised the Town Clerk on the comprehensive detail provided.

Members were unanimous in agreement with the options proposed being further explored by the Town Clerk, however the need for repairs to the roof should not wait and as funds allowed, these repairs should be made.

Recommended:

1.      That, the confidential report be noted and,

2.      That, on receipt of updated quotes, the Council funds the repair of the roof at Langdale Hall from earmarked reserves (366) as a priority and,

3.      That, future lease and building options are further explored and fully costed before being brought back to the next meeting of the Committee on 20 January 2025.
