Purpose

To obtain Member approval for the updated terms and conditions for venue hire as set out in appendix 1-8 to this report.

Decision

The Leader of the Council approves the updated terms and conditions set out at appendix 1-8 to this report to be effective from 1 April 2024.

Reasons for the decision

To ensure transparency for customers using the service and ensure that the terms and conditions are up to date so that they can offer effective protection for both the Council and the customers using the premises for venue hire.

Alternative options considered

Not to approve the recommendation and updated terms and conditions and remain using the existing terms and conditions. This is not recommended as the current terms and conditions are outdated and not fit for purpose.
