Minutes:

The Cabinet Member Sport and Culture introduced the report and explained that when the market testing and commissioning review had been undertaken it was deemed important to ensure that the market was aware that the contract for the provision of leisure and cultural services had been awarded to Cheltenham Leisure and Culture Trust in order to give those who had been unsuccessful the opportunity to challenge.
