To seek approval to grant a new lease to
Gedling Indoor Bowls Club Limited (“the Club”) to allow
them to stay on in occupation at the Richard Herrod Leisure Centre
(“the Centre”) for one year from 30 July 2018 on the
same terms as the current lease arrangement.
The Portfolio Holder authorises the Council to
enter into a lease with the Club for a period of 12 months
effective from 30 July 2018 on the same terms of the current lease
but with rent fixed at £53,712.61 plus VAT for the lease
term.
The Club works well in partnership with the
Council and has done so since the Centre opened in 1987.
Granting the lease for a year is consistent with the
Council’s budget plans.
An alternative option would be for the Centre
to operate the bowls area itself. However, it is not thought that
this service would be as effective or cost efficient as run by the
Club.
Another alternative would be to let out the area for a different
use. However, there are no suitable alternative uses of the bowls
area that would generate the current level of income and
attendances without significant capital investment.
