Purpose:

Content: that the report be noted. The Committee also agreed to refer its views to Mayor and Cabinet as follows: •         Whilst recognising the difficult financial situation facing the Council, the Committee agrees with the outcome of the recent Shared Intelligence report into the community library service model. Notably, that funding options should be explored for major building repairs. •         The Committee believes that the Council’s heritage assets are of vital importance to the borough and it wants them to be properly safeguarded for future generations. •         Therefore, the Committee recommends that a contingency fund should be created to enable major building repairs.
