Agenda item

To consider report of the Corporate Director Regeneration & Community Services.

Consideration was given to the report of the Corporate Director Regeneration & Community Services.

RESOLVED that the report be accepted, and the Cabinet agreed Option 1, namely that the Martial Arts Group, supported by Ward Members, be allowed to take the building by agreeing to enter into an agreement for a lease followed by a formal lease.  This to be granted following completion of works estimated to cost more than £87,000 which the group would have to fund.

A schedule outlining the works that must be undertaken to make the building compliant is attached at Appendix 3. It is only on completion of the works will a formal lease be granted.
