Report of the Cabinet Member Sport and Culture

RESOLVED

That the outcomes for the Leisure and Culture Review as outlined in Section 6 of the report be approved.

The Cabinet Member Sport and Culture introduced the report which sought approval by Cabinet of the outcomes for the Leisure and Culture Review. The Cabinet Member highlighted Section 3 of the report which detailed the consultation event which covered the entire scope of the review and Section 5 which outlined the key messages. A revised set of outcomes had been prepared using feedback from the event and these were outlined in Sections 6.2 of the report.

The Cabinet Member Sport and Culture proposed that an amendment be made to the report in so far as adding as a secondary outcome to the Art Gallery and Museum and the Leisure@ and Sports, Play and Healthy Lifestyles service areas. This was as follows : “That the council generates the greatest return (financially, economically and socially)from its investment in the buildings. Members supported the enhanced outcomes as they agreed that financial implications should not be taken in isolation.

The Cabinet Member explained that the next phase would be to look at how the Council was currently delivering services in these areas to see if this matched up with the identified outcomes.

Members were confident that these were positive outcomes for Leisure and Culture services to achieve.

RESOLVED that the outcomes for leisure and culture review as outlined in section 6 are adopted with the inclusion of the secondary outcome “the council generates the greatest return (financially, economically and socially) from it’s investment in the buildings” being added to the Art Gallery and Museum and the Leisure@ and Sports, Play and Healthy Lifestyles service areas.
