Issue - meetings

To receive and consider the attached report of the Director of Neighbourhoods and Housing.

Time – 15 mins (Executive Function)

The Director of Neighbourhoods and Housing submitted a report which outlined the Community Centres function which was to be delegated to the Area Committee in stages.

Helen Steele reported that only the Louis Street Community Centre would transfer to the Area Committee at this stage and brought Members’ attention to the City Services Service Level Agreement for cleaning, caretaking and facilities management and also that the Committee would eventually have responsibility for the lettings and pricing policy. 

Further issues mentioned included the Chapeltown Community Centre Group, capital spending, assessing the condition of Community Centre buildings and implications of bringing the buildings up to the Disability Discrimination Act standards.

RESOLVED -

(a)  That the arrangements for the delegation of the Community Centres to the Area Committee be noted.

(b)  That a further report be received later in the year with details of the remaining centres to be delegated.
