Further to Minute 51 of the Assembly on 5 December 2012, the Leader introduced a report on the successful outcome of discussions between local residents, Ward councillors and officers regarding the proposal for the local Community Association to assume full responsibility for the Scrattons Community Centre.

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

Cabinet resolved:

(i)  To authorise the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services and Chief Finance Officer, to grant a 30-year lease for the Scrattons Community Centre to the Scrattons Community Association, subject to satisfactory negotiation of the lease and associated requirements; and

(ii)  In the event that it was not possible to enter into a lease agreement with the Scrattons Community Association, to authorise officers to enter into a lease on the same terms with another suitable organisation.
