Purpose

Crawley Community Youth Service (CCYS) have recently had a
rent review for the lease of Bewbush Community Centre which
resulted in a significant increase.

CCYS provide a much
needed service to young people living in
Crawley.  Without them, there would be a
gap in youth provision that very few, if any, other providers could
fill.

The proposed financial increase would put the organisation at risk
of folding.  It has been agreed, with
both the Facilities Manager (Rob Channon) and the Cabinet Member
for Leisure and Wellbeing (Cllr Chris Mullins), that CCYS be
included within the list of organisations eligible for discretionary rent
relief (DRR).  This permits CCYS to
submit a formal application for DRR, applicable only to the
proposed increased element of the revised lease agreement.

To confirm, this has been agreed by both the Facilities Manager and
Cllr Chris Mullins.
