Decision:
To extend the rent subsidy of 80% awarded to the Gloucester and District Citizens Advice Bureau for the property at 3 St. Georges Place from September 2017 to April 2018.
Reasons for the decision:
As part of the Council’s long-standing commitment to support the work of the Gloucester and District Citizens Advice Bureau, the organisation has received a rental subsidy on the property it rents from the Council, 3 St. Georges Place.
In January 2014, cabinet agreed to award a rent subsidy of 80% to the CAB against the rental costs of £10k per annum for the term of their lease at the time, which was three years.
In April 2018, cabinet agreed to award a rent support grant of 66% against the rental costs of £12k per annum.
As the former lease expired in September 2017, a cabinet member decision is required to extend the rent subsidy arrangement of 80% up to the point of the April 2018 decision at which point the rent subsidy will drop to 66%.
