Decision:
RESOLVED THAT

Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Finance introduced the report which set out a proposal to provide a rent subsidy for the premise known as 3 St George Street following a request by Gloucester and District Citizens Advice Bureau. The request had been considered by the 3rd sector panel following the process previously adopted by the Council for considering such requests. The panel had concluded that an 80% reduction was appropriate. In the Cabinet Member’s view it was a very positive step that this organisation had decided to run an office in Cheltenham and he felt it was very good news for the people in the town who would benefit from the service provided.
Other members supported this view and were pleased that the council could support the voluntary sector in this way. This was another example of the policy the council had adopted working well.
RESOLVED THAT
The recommendation of the 3rd Sector Panel be accepted and that the Director of Resources be authorised to administer a rent reduction of 80% against the lease between Cheltenham Borough Council and Gloucester and District Citizens Advice Bureau.
