A report by the Director of Law, HR and Asset Management sought the Cabinet’s approval to a revised method of transferring Noctorum Community Centre to Ridgeway High School as part of the Community Asset Transfer process.

The Cabinet was advised that the transfer was in support of the Council’s goal to reduce its running costs by improving the efficiency and value for money of Council services whilst reducing bureaucracy.

Members were also informed that there would be a small saving in the Council’s budget as a consequence of this proposal and that the grant funding was not a statutory duty.

RESOLVED:

That the Community Centre be included within Ridgeway High School and the budget for the facility be moved from the Department of Law HR and Asset Management to Children and Young People’s Department
