Issue - meetings

The Board considered the content of the latest version of the Cabinet Work Programme and noted the following key points:

a)        High Street Refurbishment Phase 2

The Chairman explained that the High Street Refurbishment Phase 2: Consideration of Options report was no longer due to be considered by Cabinet in December 2015.  However, the Chairman had been assured that the Board would have an opportunity to pre-scrutinise the contents of this report before any decisions were made on the subject by Cabinet.

b)        New Leisure Centre Update

Members commented that it would be useful to have further information about the outcomes of the Council’s negotiations with BAM regarding the position in relation to sporting facilities at the new leisure centre.  This was a subject that the Board had previously made suggestions about and, given recent public interest in the matter, Members agreed that it would be suitable for further information on this subject to be provided for the Board’s consideration.

RESOLVED that the Head of Leisure and Cultural Services deliver a presentation on the subject of the new Leisure Centre, to include information about the outcomes of negotiations with BAM.
