DECISIONS

 

9.2       The Lead Member RESOLVED to (1) approve the granting of a full repairing and insuring lease to Polegate Community Library Charitable Incorporated Organisation on a peppercorn rent for a three year period, with a break clause after year two for ESCC (with six months’ notice), in order to operate a Community Library in the former Polegate Library building; and

 

(2) delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer in consultation with the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport to agree the terms for the lease.

 

Reasons

 

9.3       The Polegate Community Library proposal would provide social value to the community in Polegate and is judged by the evaluation panel to be viable.  Granting a short-term peppercorn lease is in line with the Cabinet decision of 6 March 2018.
