34 MBC Outdoor Sports Facilities Booking Process PDF 84 KB
Minutes:
Ms
Hudd, the Head of Regeneration and Economic Development presented a
report which set out the process for the booking of council sports
pitches.
The
Committee was informed by Ms Hudd that she was hopeful that a new
electronic booking system would be put in within two weeks and
would be in place for the new season.
In
response to a question from a Member Ms Hudd undertook to speak to
the Leisure Centre about extending the Wednesday cancellation rule
to a later day in the week.
Ms Hudd
informed the Committee that Maidstone Leisure Centre (MLC) would
receive a management charge but the income from the booking of the
pitches would still come to the Council and that a separate signed
agreement would be used and would not form part of the main
Maidstone Leisure Centre Contract. It
was also noted that the agreement with the Leisure Centre would be
reviewed annually and did not commit the Council to anything long
term should it decide to either reduce or increase the number of
pitches provided.
Members requested that the data on the usage of sports pitches by
type and park be sent to Members of the Committee by
email.
RESOLVED: That the report be noted and that a separate
signed agreement would be made with Maidstone Leisure Centre and
would not form part of the Leisure Centre Contract.
Voting: Unanimous
