Issue - meetings

To review the current concessionary scheme for the use of Committee Rooms within the Town Hall and consider a proposed new matrix.

(Report attached)

Officers explained that the report submitted to the Executive Committee attempted to bring consistency and clarity to the system of providing concessionary use of the Civic Suite in Redditch Town Hall.

Members welcomed the clarity which the new Policy would bring. There was a suggestion that, in the event of disputes over the granting of concessionary use, the final decision be taken by the Leader in conjunction with the Leader of the Opposition, but this proposal was not supported.

RESOLVED that

1)        the proposed booking and administration procedure (Appendix 1 to the report submitted) for Civic Suite Concessionary Room Bookings be approved and adopted; and

2)        Officers be directed to commence with the new procedure from Monday 30^th June 2014.
