The Leader introduced a report on the proposal to enter into a long-term lease with the May and Baker Eastbrook Community Club in respect of the May and Baker Sports Ground, which would transfer to the Council’s ownership via a Section 106 Planning Agreement when the current land owner, Sanofi, vacated the site later in the year.

The Leader placed on record his appreciation to all those involved in progressing the proposals.

Cabinet resolved to authorise the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services and Chief Finance Officer, to grant a 25-year lease for the May and Baker Sports Ground, as shown edged red on the plan at Appendix 1 to the report, to the May and Baker Eastbrook Community Club, subject to satisfactory negotiation of the lease and associated requirements relating to the land transfer of the sports ground from Sanofi to the Council.
