Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Finance introduced the report and explained that an offer had been made to the council to undertake improvement works of a burned out and derelict sports pavilion at King George V Playing Field, Brooklyn Road, to provide a sporting facility for Rowanfield Rovers AFC: a youth sports club; in return for a 10 year lease of the pavilion and junior sports pitch. The Cabinet Member added that this would be of great benefit to the community and sport in the town and this partnership between the council and voluntary organisations was increasingly strengthening due to the adoption of the Third Sector rents policy adopted some time ago.
The Cabinet Member Clean and Green Environment welcomed the recommendations and thanked officers for being so proactive in the search for a new leaseholder by means of its proactive marketing campaign. This lease would enable Rowanfield Rovers to grow and would be received well received in the neighbourhood.
