Minutes:
The Committee considered a report by the Leader of Purbeck District
Council on the transfer of the toilets at West Street, Corfe Castle along with
22 car parking spaces in the reserved parking area at West Street to Corfe Castle
Parish Council, which was in line with transfer of assets principles. The
transfer of the cost of running the toilets, by transferring the parking spaces
would remove the liability upon Dorset Council in the future and would avoid an
escalating maintenance cost.
Members discussed the application of asset transfer of this nature, to
ensure that assets with the potential for income generation were not disposed
of without due consideration. It was
confirmed that the asset transfer principles had been applied and it was
suggested that an overage clause be included in the final contract. The importance of a consistency of approach
across all councils when considering similar requests was highlighted.
Decision
That the recommendation detailed within the report, to be decided upon
by Purbeck District Council, be supported.
