Minutes: The Select Committee considered a report from the Director of Universal Services (item 6 in the minute book), which highlighted the findings of the Income Generation Task and Finish Working Group.
The officer summarised the report and it was noted that the baseline income from the four outdoor centres had been £3.27 million rather than the £3 million quoted in paragraph 24, which was a welcomed increase.
During questions the Members noted that:
· No proposals had been received on Titchfield Haven during the moratorium period, which was due to end in June; · Further work was due to be done on developing the relationship with Ancestry and the digitalising of archives; · Planning permission restraints affected the ability to expand at some outdoor centres, particularly those in the New Forest; · Whilst some outdoor centres could accommodate some public use, there was a lot of investment required to make them more suitable for public use; · Manydown Country Park continued to be developed, but would fall under the Hampshire 2050 Directorate remit;
The Task & Finish Group and supporting officers were thanked for their investment and input into the working group.
RESOLVED Committee endorsed the findings of the Income Generation Task and Finish Working Group. |
