The Cabinet considered a report on a proposed change to the terms and conditions previously agreed in relation to the transfer of Bromsgrove Museum to the Friends of the Museum (the Friends).

It was reported that since the previous Cabinet decision in October 2009, the Friends had sought funding for the purchase of the museum but had advised that potential funders were not able to commit to the project because of the claw back provision imposed as part of that decision. The Friends had therefore requested that the claw back provision be removed.

The Cabinet considered the likely costs for the Authority which would arise from the retention of the Museum and the potential for the project to contribute to the Council’s priority of development and regeneration of the Town Centre. 

RESOLVED  that the Bromsgrove Museum be transferred to the Friends on the terms and conditions agreed on 7th October 2009, at the current market value and that the disposal be free of restrictions.
