11 Welbourne Centre
(Report of the Assistant Chief Executive (Strategy): To report on consultation with Centre users and local residents about the future use of the Centre and make recommendations.
Minutes:
The report was the subject of a motion to exclude the press and public from the meeting as it contained exempt information relating to the business or financial affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information).
We received this report which updated us on the current tenancy and use of the Welbourne Centre. We noted the possible opportunity for community consultation through a proposed Neighbourhood Taskforce Project, supported by the Young Foundation and financed by the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
Our Chair advised that she had sought the views of her 2 Ward colleagues about this proposal and felt it presented an excellent opportunity to bring together local residents and resolve specific problems with the Chestnut Estate.
RESOLVED
That the report be noted but that if the Council are not chosen to take part in the Taskforce Project then a survey of local residents and users of the Centre be undertaken in any event as this information would be necessary in determining how to proceed.
