Issue - meetings

Ms Elizabeth Buckingham, Cobtree Manager, and Mr Jason Taylor, Leisure Manager, presented the report to the Committee.

In response to questions from the Committee, Ms Buckingham replied that:

·  The heavy vehicle which reversed into the main gates on 8 March 2018 causing damage to the gates, posts and height barrier was not captured on CCTV belonging to Travis Perkins.

·  Officers were assessing the electronic gate counter which stopped working on 17 January 2018. The counter had been reset to ascertain whether the counter was completely broken or if the loss of the data from the last quarter was an anomaly.

·  The Parking Enforcement Team regularly visited Cobtree Manor Park car park.

In response to questions from the Committee, Mr Taylor confirmed that the extreme weather earlier in 2018 had a significant impact on the number of rounds played at Cobtree Manor Golf Course. However, the Golf Course was arranging a number of events to increase usage.

Ms Dawn Hudd, the Head of Regeneration and Economic Development, stated that the Contracts and Compliance Officer would be able to provide a summary on the performance of the contracts to the Committee quarterly and that she would be invited to the next meeting of the Committee.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.

Note: Councillor Mrs Wilson arrived at 10.49 a.m. during consideration of this item.
