Issue - meetings

(i)  Council’s Decision on Community Halls

(ii)  Request for a Community Hall in the Valence area

The local issues section of the agenda includes a presentation by Community Matters on their development contract around this issue.  It is proposed that discussion of the two petitions is held after the presentation.

Agreed that officers continue to work with Community Associations to implement the Executive’s decision of 22 July 2003 to transfer community halls to full local management and grant 21 year leases by 31 March 2005.
