Decision details

Update on the Leisure Services Review as a follow up to the 6th October 2020 - Cabinet meeting

The Portfolio Holder for Customer and Community Services set out the exempt report and her Executive Decision to agree its recommendations.

Cabinet confirmed that they supported that decision.

Decision 

(a)           That officers be instructed to negotiate with existing leisure contractors as set out in the recommendations of the report of Cabinet 18 May 2021.

(b)           That leisure services and ongoing performance continue to be monitored and evaluated to fully consider the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic in any future decision making.

Reason for the decision

1.      At its Annual Meeting, Council decided to continue to meet virtually for all non-executive committees. The Leader of the Council also decided that Cabinet should continue to meet virtually until social distancing requirements had been removed. Therefore, the Portfolio Holder for Customer and Community Services has made this decision taking into account the views expressed by the wider cabinet membership.

2.      To review the Leisure Services Market and the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic.
