Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Finance introduced the report and explained that this concerned the cafes and recreational facilities in Pittville Park and Montpellier Gardens. The leases for these facilities were due to expire on 4 August to enable the council to consider the future of these facilities in view of the lease of the café in leisure@ expiring on the same date. However it had subsequently been decided to keep this separate. He went on further to explain that as the date of expiry of the lease was set at the height of the summer, the busiest time of year for the park cafes, it was hoped to achieve greater interest from prospective contractors at a more convenient time of year and thus the report proposed to retender in February 2016.
Members agreed that the current lease of the facilities had worked extremely well and recognised the achievements of the Cheltenham Coffee Co. Limited. They thanked them for breathing new life into the facilities.
