Foleshill Community Centre Update pdf icon PDF 616 KB

Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place)

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) which provided an update on the Foleshill Community Centre.

 

Foleshill Community Centre (“the Centre”) has been owned by the Council since 1948/1949 and the Council has managed the Centre remotely since April 2015.

 

The purpose of the report was to update the Cabinet Member following the ‘expression of interest exercise’ which was conducted between March and July.

 

Local charity Feeding Coventry had been selected to take on the Centre, following their successful ‘expression of interest’ submission and their presentation to the interview panel with their proposals.

 

This was a ‘retrospective’ report following the agreement of Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities to allow Feeding Coventry to enter into lease negotiations with officers from Place Directorate early, which subsequently allowed the charity to secure additional funding.

 

RESOLVED that the Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities endorses the actions of officers from Place Directorate to negotiate terms to complete a lease agreement with Feeding Coventry accordingly.
