Issue - meetings

A review into the Leisure Centre Management contract was initiated by the Community Overview and Scrutiny Committee in November 2016. Community Wellbeing, Customer Services and Value for Money are corporate priorities for the Council so a review of the Leisure Services Contract was considered an important step to ensuring that the Council is providing appropriate levels of service to its residents. The report attached was considered by the Community Wellbeing O&S Committee in June 2017 and, other than some slight amendments, the Committee fully endorsed the findings of the review.  The recommendations arising from the review are detailed in the report for the Executive to consider.  Councillors Wyatt Ramsdale and Richard Seaborne will be in attendance at the Executive to provide a short presentation on the outcomes of the review and to answer any questions.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Executive gives consideration to the recommendations contained within the report and agrees the way forward.

The Executive received a presentation from Cllrs Wyatt Ramsdale and Richard Seaborne on behalf of the Sub-Committee that had conducted the review into Leisure Centre Management in Waverley.

The Executive thanked the Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee and complimented the members and officers involved on producing an excellent and comprehensive report. 

RESOLVED  that the report and the recommendations contained within the final report be endorsed as a way forward and that the item be added to the Executive’s forward programme to ensure that an update was brought forward in due course.
