Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Community Development
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
To seek approval for opening hours for the
Christmas and New Year holiday period.
To approve the closure of all the Community
Centres over the Christmas and New Year period as detailed in the
report.
To allow staff to take annual leave without
the need to provide cover and minimise the disruption to the
customers from maintenance work.
The opening and closing times of the centres
have evolved and been reduced over a number of years in order to
maintain a minimum service where feasible but to reduce the costs
at the quietest time of the year.
The alternative would be to close the centre just for the Bank
Holidays and open 24th and 31st December; however, it is likely
that most groups will cancel on these days. It may not be possible
to accommodate additional opening within the approved base
budget.
