Content

(1)    To
approve a further one-year extension from 1 September 2024 to

authority to either re-procure a contract or alternatively bring
the service back in-house.

approve the variation of contract referred to in (1) above to
reduce the fee payable by Sports and Leisure Management Ltd

utilities and inflation.

provision for a lease renewal of Vale Farm Sports Centre to Sports
