A report by the Director of Finance advised that the Policy and Resources Committee had previously agreed that 100% discretionary rate relief be given to certain non profit-making voluntary or sporting organisations which broadly fitted the criteria laid down. An application had been received from the Heswall Royal British Legion, which did not fully meet the criteria, and was referred to the Cabinet for consideration.

RESOLVED -

That the Club does not sufficiently fulfil the criteria and that the charitable, sporting voluntary and other appropriate activities are outweighed by the social usage of the Club and its associated facilities by members and guests, and consequently no relief be awarded.
