Update Self Managed Allotments

Meeting: 09/10/2017 - Community and Wellbeing Committee (Item 19)

Self Managed Allotments

This report will not be published because the meeting is likely to be closed to the press and public in view of the nature of the business to be transacted/nature of the proceedings. The report deals with information relating to the business affairs of the Council and the public interest in maintaining the exemption currently outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Decision:

Following consideration, the Committee:

(1)          Agreed to offer the three self-managed sites the following options:

a)         Option 1: to continue under a self-managed agreement as per the terms set out in section 3 of this report.

b)         Option 2: to return 50% of all income to the council in return for the continued provision of all large maintenance and repair work.

c)         Option 3: to return the self-managed site to the council and not grant a further lease.

(2)          Agreed that the consultation with the three self-managed sites be delegated to the Head of Operational Services to reach an agreement of their preferred option.

(3)          Agreed to remove the option for any further sites to become self-managed.
