Cabinet
Board Proposals
5.1 Bowls Pavilions
The
Committee received information relating to the granting of leases of Bowls
Pavilions to the user Bowls Clubs and Organisations as contained within the
circulated report.
Concern
was raised by a Local Member that they had not been consulted on the proposal
despite it stating in the report that they had.
Members
queried the sale of alcohol in the Bowls Club premises and Officers committed
to looking into lease conditions and feeding back any issues to the Committee.
Members noted that the pavilions at Bryn, Ystalyfera, and Blaengwynfi are
located within recreational grounds which are held by the Council on charitable
trust. The Committee wanted to ensure that the Council have been discharging
their obligations properly in relation to this and recommended to the Cabinet
Board that:
‘…the leases/sublease of the Bowls Pavilions to the
respective Bowls Clubs and Organisations on the standard terms, set out in the
circulated report, be approved subject to full compliance with the Charities
Act’
Following scrutiny, and with the above amendment, the Committee were supportive of the proposals to be considered by Cabinet Board.
