Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Noted the update in regards to the Venues income & subsidy.

(2)          Agreed that this report no longer be presented at each meeting of the Committee, and that information regarding venues income and subsidies instead be provided to Members on a quarterly basis via the quarterly monitoring report and Members’ Update document.

The Committee received a report providing details on performance of the Council’s venues, and a potential end-of-year outturn with regards to income and subsidy.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Consideration of venues income and subsidy updates in the future. Officers proposed that information regarding venues performance be directly provided to Members of the Committee via email and the “Members’ Update” document in future, rather than as a Committee report. This would enable the information to be provided to Committee Members in a more timely manner.

b)            Ewell Court House steps. The Committee was informed that the steps onto the lawn area at Ewell Court House had still not been completed. Concern at this had been raised with the managing director of the contractor responsible for the works, and the importance of the works to the local community had been communicated. The contractor had undertaken to provide Officers with an emergency plan for completion of the works within the next 24 hours.

Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Noted the update in regards to the Venues income & subsidy.

(2)          Agreed that this report no longer be presented at each meeting of the Committee, and that information regarding venues income and subsidies instead be provided to Members on a quarterly basis via the quarterly monitoring report and Members’ Update document.
