Tonbridge and Malling Leisure Trust pdf icon PDF 212 KB

A report seeking approval from Full Council for the establishment of a budget provision in 2020/21 in respect of the Council’s Leisure Management Arrangements with the Tonbridge and Malling Leisure Trust.

Minutes:

The joint report of the Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services and the Chief Financial Services Officer outlined the need to establish a budget provision in 2020/21 to support Tonbridge and Malling Leisure Trust (TMLT) in maintaining the Council’s facilities during the pandemic and preparing them for re-opening and operation in the manner required through Government direction.  The report suggested that a budget of £1m be set aside against which validated claims from TMLT, made through the ‘open book’ process, could be paid.

 

Members supported the proposals as the facilities offered by the Leisure Trust provided social, health and wellbeing, mental health and community benefits to residents of Tonbridge and Malling.

 

RECOMMENDED:  That

 

(1)          the Council establish a supplementary budget of £1m in 2020/21 in respect of the Council’s Leisure Management Arrangements; and

 

(2)          the Council, in liaison with the Leisure Trust, lobbies Government for direct financial support.
