Issue - meetings

The action sheet arising from the Joint Scrutiny (Budget Monitoring) Committee held on 26^th July, 2021 was submitted whereupon:-

Festival Park

A Member asked whether the Council’s SLA with the new company could potentially impact on the Council’s budget in terms of future increase in the management fee.

In response the Corporate Director Regeneration & Community Services explained that the lease arrangement with the new owners was the same as the previous arrangement.  The management fee was built into the current long term lease, which protected both parties, and could not be negotiated.  He said discussions with the new company had been positive and hopefully the site would be improved in the future.

Update on the Truck Shop, Tredegar

The Corporate Director confirmed that a submission had been made to CADW to undertake works, and a positive outcome was anticipated.  The Corporate Director undertook to provide a briefing note to Members.

A brief discussion ensued when a Member requested that Officer responses to issues raised by Members at Committee be reported back to the Committee.

The Committee AGREED, subject to the foregoing, the Action Sheet be noted.
