Report of the Service Manager Community Relations.

The Service Manager Community Relations introduced a report, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, updating members on the progress on the Council’s Community Asset Transfer Programme.

RESOLVED to:

1)    Note the progress made to date regarding community asset transfer;

2)    Agree to the Community Relations Service Area continuing to support the development of sustainable community hubs across the Borough;

3)    Agree to continuing to facilitate the Community Asset Transfer Partnership to offer good practice sharing, workshops and other capacity building opportunities;

4)    Agree to the assessment of alternative models of management to reduce the subsidy provided by the Council, where community asset transfer is currently considered as not being the most realistic option for a community centre; and

5)    Agree to the reduction in the efficiency target for the community centre budget portfolio to £45,900 (which includes £21,700 already achieved) and include it in the budget process for 2020/21
